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.

I am 29 so soon I can't check the 20 somethings box! However, for now I can! I am, God willing, getting sleeved in September. I don't have a pre-op diet but maybe can help! Good luck, I wish I had done this years ago!

I'm 26 and 18 days post op. :)

I will be 28 in Sept. and I'm hoping I can get sleeved sometime in Oct. My husband leaves for school at the end of Oct. and I don't want to wait 3 months for him to return. Most of my pre-op appts should be done by the middle of Sept. and I don't have to do the 6 month diet because my surgeon thinks it's pointless because most people have tried several weight loss plans and he doesn't see the point in putting obese patients through that stress again. My surgery will be on a military facility, so I dont have to deal with insurance (Tricare). I'm wishing all of you luck and add me as a friend if you want :)

Thank you! I will! Procedure time is 12:30 pm eastern time

I'm 27, but I was 26 when I started all this! Holding on to my 20's for dear life. ;o) I wanted to start actually living my life before I hit the big 3-0! I have my sleep study on Saturday and then 2 more visits with the NUT and they should be able to submit to my insurance! I can't wait!
