That's a lot of information for one post! LOL! I think you'll learn more and almost certainly get more responses if you narrow it down and ask more specific questions. Tons of knowledgeable and caring folks on here that will be glad to answer your questions. You have a surgery date so you likely have a lot of information from your doctor's office. Anything special that you'd like more info on?

Being young, I am 24, is hard. But at 24 I have onlym,u select friends so that is a positive. At 18 I still had the friends by force people ya know. But 18 or 80 people are skeptical and rude at times, you have to be confident in your decision or those negative ones will tearnu up

Hi guys! I'm 24, I'll be 25 in April. In the process of planning my second wls: revision from the lapband to the bypass. The band just doesn't work for some people unfortunately. I'm hoping for a second at life!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
