I enjoy reading everyone's posts on the forum and seeing people's experiences and progress but I'm still a little new here. I am 23 and was sleeved just under a month ago. I wanted to find more people around my age who have also been sleeved or are considering/planning on being sleeved. I'm interested in hearing about your experiences, sharing goals, etc.

Im 20' date=' will be 21 in July!

was sleeved in December and have lost about 140 pounds all together~ [/quote']

Whattttttt? Is that all post op? That's amazing? What are your stats? Sorry for all the questions

I'm 25 and sleeved 5/13 with 35 lbs lost. My skin is prone to stretch marks. I'm not sure if its the cocoa butter or what but my stretch marks are less visible and my skin doesn't look flabby like I thought it would!

I have stretch marks.. But I've also had two kids only 2 years apart :/. But I'm hoping for no sagging skin!

Hi! I am a little younger than you but my name is Janel and I just turned 20 years old. I just got my sleeve yesterday and today I feel pretty good. I was lucky enough to not have a lot of nausea and my surgeon said my operation went perfectly. Now today I am starting to bruise on my belly & my pain is about a 5 or 6. I am very pleased with how my surgery went & how my recovery is coming along

That's great and really exciting! The biggest thing that I would say is it is nervewracking but it's not as scary as it sounds. You'll be fine! Also, just be prepared for a whole new relationship with food and eating, it's SO different than before the surgery. I wasn't quite prepared for how drastic it is at first.

I am from NJ I was sleeved on 4-23 am 25 I love to talk and learn how everyone is feeling right now am having g some hard time with this so if anyone has any suggested let me know any good drinks and food that will stay down lol thank you
