So I was wanting to know if there is anyone who is in their late 20's or early 30's who have documented their journey on YouTube? I'm sorry if I hurt people's feelings, but I would like to see someone my age who has gone through this. Or if there is someone that is 5'2" and 230 lbs that would be great too. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you don't have a YouTube video, but around my age and size I would love to hear from you. :)

Thank you!! Yeah I did but I already had 4 months done bcuz I had started going to my doctor to help with weight loss. It has been a very long process & the fact that I'm like the most impatient person does not help :) My insurance will cover the band or bypass but for vsg they require a bmi of 50 so I am now in the external appeals process waiting to hear back from them. Have you already been approved?

I am 34, 5'3 and started this process at 230 exactly. I went to the WLS seminar in December and was sleeved on 3/14. I lost 10 pounds on the pre op diet and went into surgery at 217, I did have anemia prior to surgery, so my blood levels are still low which leaves me a little weak but everyday is better than the day before. I am taking Iron of course and when I weighed my self today I was 198. No real pain, I stopped taking my pain meds before I left the hospital. I do have heartburn now, but not before surgery and my surgeon used a 38 boogie. You will be fine! Hope that helps.

I am struggling with the Protein, don't like the way it tastes and have tried several different kinds. I have read horror stories on this website about the ingredients in some Protein Shots. I am drinking boost right now, however not for long as it has carbs and sugar but it was recommended for now to assist with getting my strength back up.

I'm trying the nectar vanilla bean. It doesn't taste great but it doesn't taste bad. I guess I tolerate it. I heard the costco one is good. I have a hard time with Water as well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
