24 years old and a year later

I wasn't the happiest person after surgery. I knew it wasn't going to be easy. But it was something worth having !! I was over weight my pre teen and teenage years. So I decided to change that and get the surgery. After I got it I went through so many mood swings and not eating at all made me feel very week. It took me about 6 months to really start eating. And getting use to my new body. I love the results I am seeing and I would get the surgery all over again. 1 year later 100 lbs lighter.

Wonderful!! Wish I was 24 again.. Glad you had this done early in life. You will never regret it! I am 56 and still dont regret it. I just wish it had been 20 years ago and I wish my skin had not lost its shape.. But I wil deal with that next year, right now I am just happy happy happy!!! Glad you are too!

Great for u that u r happy on the outcome..it is good that you tell of your struggle. The preop patient like me needs to hear this..it is not and end to your weight problem.. I realize there will be eating challenges, mentally and physically the rest of our lives
