Anybody In Their 20's

I just want some friends my age that are going through this process. I'm 21 and I've been given 3 months to lose 20lbs.

      I'm 26. Sleeve date is August 13th. Feels good to know I'm not the only youngster around here. ^_- I read somewhere that most people who get weight loss surgery are 40s and up.

    It went super quick! Only took 3 months for all my appointments and insurance approval; but I was busting a$$ fitting in every little appointment haha

    I'm kinda nervous just because it came so quickly and it took me off guard.
