Thanks girl! (:

I am 20, had surgery done on nov 7th... and am doing great 43 pounds lost so far! dont be nervous. wish you a great recovery <3

I'm 20 too and pretty nervous. But I just think of it like this: I am young enough now to turn my life around. I have already wasted too long being overweight, never doing the things I wanted to or going where I want. Now I have the tool I need (sleeve) to change my life so why wouldn't I do it? We are still so young with so much to look forward too!!! Good luck xx

P.s message me if you want to chat sometime :)

I'm 19 and I got sleeved yesterday. I'm already at home I feel good. Just sore. For your pain mess get liquid not the whole pills. It helps and sip on Water. Constantly. You will do fine. I was FREAKING OUT LIKE PANIC ATTACK. But it's all good. The anticipation was the worst. Keep in touch.

I'm 19 and was sleeved 2/6 and I had second thoughts but I have to say this was the BEST decision I've ever made!!! Down 31lbs already!

I'm 24.

Its scary, we have a long life ahead of us to live with this choice.

Wow good for you !!!!!!! You lost weight super fast any suggestions ?!

I'm 60, was 59 when I had my surgery. Listen, you don't have to be young to be scared! I was bawling my eyes out on the way into the operating room!! And before the surgery, when I was considering it all, I was scared to death of the lifestyle change I knew must happen.

It all turned out to be so easy... so hang in there, this will be the best thing you could do for yourself!

just drink a lot of water walk a lot and eat proteins like chicken, fish and turkey. i have days where i treat myself and dont feel guilty cause its not all the time. and i aside from drinking just water incorporate ice tea too just to have something new. Best of luck when is your surgery?

Wow good for you !!!!!!! You lost weight super fast any suggestions ?!
