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.

lol yeah, something always happens where I have to reschedule appointments and appointments are always at last a month apart... extremele frustrating but I know it'll give me time to work out and lose these 20 lbs.. I'm excited about hearing about what happens after surgery so keep me posted

Well guys, was sleeved this morning, I'm bout 11 hours out and still haven't passed gas, and it can be sore (just under my breasts) sort of like a cramp, have been walking up and down the halls but nothing happening frustrating!! Hoping to pass gas ASAP so I can go home tomorrow :)

I usually have no problem either!! But because when you have surgery they blow you up with gas it's a bit harder since the gas isn't actually in your stomach, getting frustrating and the gas pain in sore

I'm 26; fighting my way through this process; I'm pre op; but if u every wanna talk; u can message me; I have 4 nutritional visits remaining then I'm done; I see that a lot of ppl have to lose weight for insurance approval; I'm the exact opposite; I'm encouraged to not lose any weight; because insurance may deny my claim; if u don't mind those who have to lose weight what insurance do you have?

I have kaiser insurance and the reason I have to lose weight is so that my dr has more room to see ... They showed us videos and the stomach fat makes it too crowded in there lol

I'm 27. I appreciate everyone referring to ourselves as "youngsters" because 30 is creeping up on me and I feel anything but young. Haha.

I had the surgery back in January and its 100% the best decision I ever made. Good luck with your process and keep us posted! Feel free to add me as a friend or message me if you have any questions. It's only been 6 months since surgery but I can assure you I have been through it ALL. Haha.

26 here. 13 days post op :) !!
