I know everyones journey is different, but I'm just curious. How are the mid 20 sleevers progressing? I hear you loose quicker when your younger... I'm 25 and currently at 307lbs (after diet for insurance and before liquid diet). Do the masses have loose skin? how quickly are you coming down?

Can't wait to read the responses im 24 and weigh 282 lbs. I have yet to get my surgery date. But will most likely have a mid April date

Good luck to you!! cant wait til I see the post with your surgery date!

I'm 30 and my skin is stretching back slowly but surely. My stomach looks flat and my arms are thin except for a flap of hanging skin. It has gotten shorter, though.

I hope I have such luck. I have gained so much weight I have the slight hanging pouch. Have hopes I can shape it up without plastic surgery

I believe you lose quicker the more weight you have to lose. As for age I think it may benefit the skin. But I haven't been sleeved long and I don't have as much to lose so it feels like things are going very slow to me. I'm looking forward to hearing from others too.

I'm 25, at 230 pounds right now. Having my first nutrition meeting this week, I hope someone has an encouraging thing to say about the skin. Then again, no one will see me naked except for my husband. I also have a large pouch in front of me...no kids, its a genetic thing in my family.

I'm 24 and so far I've lost 60 lbs. about 25 since my surgery 3-1. I've been doing toning and moisturizing my skin with Shea vitamin e and all that but already I can tell like under my arms my skin is a little saggy. It will probably get a little worse with time but I intend to tone the heck out of my body and try and gain lean muscle to make up for it.

am 16, lost about 75 lbs just in 3 months and half, i think it's true the younger are u the faster weight u lose.

I'm 24 years old and started my liquid diet on 3/5/12 and had surgery on 3/19 and I'm down 23lbs in just 3 weeks!!! So exciting. I started at 246 and I'm at 223 so 24 more pounds and I will be under 200....can't freaking wait!

I'm 22 years old & @ 271.2. I don't know what my pre-surgery diet weight will be (weigh in on Tues) - and I get surgery on Tuesday, April 3rd!!

I'm 24 and I've lost 10 pounds in six days from my surgery. (Surgery weight: 356) I'm looking forward to this speedy pace, though I know that it will slow down pretty soon.

Congrats to all you guys coming down pretty quickly. Teamthin I agree with that the more you have to loose the faster. Let's just hope I have the same advances. I wanna be an ultimate goal of 175lbs. And I don't want people to think I am having surgery just for my looks purposes, of course my health is a huge factor. BUT do not wanna have hanging loose skin and look like I've had surgery... You know?

Good luck to you all! I will be two weeks on Thursday, surgery on 3/22 and I am already down from 234 to 219. I am 48 years old, so I hope my skin will bounce back some. Don't get on the scale too often, maybe just once a week. I'm doing great, but my advice 1. Find a protien powder you like. I love unjury esp the chocolate splendor, chicken soup & the cheese. 2. Buy a good insulated cup and keep it full a cold beverage. Sip, sip, sip all day long. Hydration is so important to your recovery. I make crystal light & add a protien flavor shot. It's not moch, but every bit helps. I don't care for the flavor shots by themselves. Keep in touch & ask anyone if you have questions.

Thanks for this I keep hearing everyone mentioned Unjury so I plan on getting me a sample pack now one question I have I hear everyone mention the chicken broth from them but how does that work are you drinking a shake that taste like soup

I add it to healthy choice soups or to warm water. It is pretty good.
