I'm so happy there are ladies out there my age going through the same things. I feel like up until now I had no hope for a fun filled healthy quality of life. I mean seriously being a young over weight girl is tough!! Not to mention the way society treats us. Ughhh I'm just ready for this more then ever.

Any thoughts or tips for post ops out there?!

What to expect some tips on what to do or not to do ???

Thank you and good luck to all.

My insurance wouldn't which is okay because self pay process is fast an easy. Good luck!

I too am in my twenties and I know exactly how you feel:( I feel like im wasting all my "hott" years! Hopefully I have good genes and I will be hott up in my 60's! When I get this sleeve I'll certainly be healthier and that will help! I am going to self-pay as well, my insurance covers it but my bmi is on the low side so I am having to self pay. I get my surgery date June 5th!

That's great! I had my surgery today. I've been pretty sore but other then that nothing like I had imagined. Good luck sweetie.

I'm so glad I downloaded this app my surgery is the 30th of this month im excited and nervous in 25 going on 26 5"8 283 pounds this is the largest I've ever been Im super excited such helpful info anyone have problems with loose skin

Honestly it all depends on the person my aunt was a good 300 barely any loose skin and another young girl was about 250 and she had a lot of it. All depends on your genetics I think. If you have good healthy skin I think you will be fine. I tanned a lot so idk if I stand a chance. But your skin is just another organ and in time it can shrink to fit your body. Don't get discourage right away it takes about 2 years to see how it's going to really look.
