that is a tough situation. maybe you can talk more to him about why he wants you to have one versus the other? i personally had the sleeve done 12/17 and have lost 68 pounds and love it!

hello! and thank you!!!

That said, we also totally get that it's sometimes useful to talk to someone who is at a similar place in life. There are a number of 20-somethings around here, so I'm sure you'll find some age peers.

The rest of us are happy to chime in when you need support, too - and you might find some of us still remember what it's like to be 20 :P

I'm 20 as well but have not had surgery yet. Currently in the process of getting started :)

Fyre, time off is against the rules, you know that already. Pay is the usual scale - you're allowed to make smart-aleck remarks and innuendos. Got it?
