Im just looking for people around my age of 23 who is also going through the whole process or even already had the surgery. any one is welcome to find me on facebook, just ask

Yeah I'm truly trying to find protein I can tolerate! I think I may end up just getting the unflavored and start making smoothies all day long and just live on those for a while! Lol!! That's my biggest fear is my hair falling out!! My hair is already thin as it is I don't have any to spare! lol!! Plus I've got my cousin's wedding in about 5 weeks so I REALLY hope I don't start losing hair before the wedding! I'm the maid of honor so I gotta look good! Haha!! I'm glad to hear your hair grew back though, that gives me some hope if I do lose it!!

You look great by the way!! Definitely is encouraging to see people's success through their pictures and stories!! :-)

I'm also 27. I had my RNY when I was 22. I've had lots of success the past few years

Yes I can see from your profile pics. Good job! Look great!

So it has been a little over a month now since my surgery. I am down 59 pounds so far. Here is my first comparison photo. Figured id share it with everyone. :-)

Wow!!! Great job! Keep it up!!!

Hey everyone! I'm so happy to find a group of people are the same age either having the surgery or already did! i'm 21 and going to my first doctor appointment in 2 weeks! I'm so hopeful and postive that rny will be an amazing decision. I don't have much support tho! My husband is indifferent but my grandma and best friend think it;s the worst idea i've ever had and that i will be miserable afterwards. I'm on a mission to prove them wrong

I'm 21! And I'm on my 2/3 dietitian appointments! So I'm almost done! I just need more protein too.. I'm having troubled by finding enough

My daughter is 18 and she is having her bypass surgery 12/23/13. One week to go! So excited for her. I had mine 2/23/13 and I'm down 125 lbs!

Anyone else here around her age?

I am 23 and having surgery April 2nd. I am so excited and also nervous. Would love to speak with some people my age!

Hey Guys I'm Chelsea! Im 22 and had my surgery march 3.. Currently recuperating... Would love support and friends!

Hi! I'm 24 and everything was just submitted to insurance so I'm waiting to hear if and when I'll get my surgery. I'm super excited and nervous. I'm just ready to get the ball rolling! It's great to have a group around my age to talk to!

Hey y'all I'm 23 and scheduled to have my surgery on Monday the 7th. Wish me luck I'm looking forward to go to the other side lol .

Hey Guys! I am 28 and my Band to RNY revision is April 21st. I have had my band since I was 18 years old. It has been complete hell. I still have days where I get one bite of food in and I get "hung up", and then there are days when I can never get enough to eat. I weigh 50 lbs more now than I did when I had my band. I can wait to finally loose this weight, and have a normal healthy life. My mother had the RNY 15 years ago, and she has still maintained her weight under 150 lbs. I do worry about having kids in a few years and that making me fat again after hopefully loosing all this weight. I weigh 285 and my goal weight is 140. 17 days to go!!!!!

Hey guys I am 26 I am with Kaiser I have my 2nd group class tomorrow and then should be scheduling my appointments for my psych eval and with the nutritionist. You guys are a little further ahead than me but it's nice to hear what other peoples experiences are and have been especially around my age. If all goes well I am hoping to meet with my surgeon and schedule a date in the next month or two

Hey guys! I'm 25, and had RNY on June 30th!

Nice to see some people my age
