Nearly 20 days post op ( can't believe it's been that long!) I've been keeping up semi regular posts on Instagram, if anyone would like to follow, feel free just comment on a picture with BP so I know to follow back!

Also, anyone else 22 and sleeved?

Wow you've lost a lot already! Very encouraging! Thanks for sharing

of course have you been sleeved or are you still pre op?

Wow! That's amazing! Congratulations!! I can't wait to have a success story like yours. I've been over weight my whole life. I was never "the skinny girl" and I never thought I'd be healthy. I'm so excited that I have this opportunity to do this.

Do you have any scars from the surgery?

you'll love it! It helps having awesome support groups, especially people your own age. I have some scars, just where they did the incisions. They heal over time, and unless you know what to look for, you can barely see them. I haven't worried too much about preventative measures because I know eventually I'll have to have excess skin removed anyway.

of course have you been sleeved or are you still pre op?

Yep, still pre op! My dr appt and psych evaluation is next week, then my education class is on the 26th. My surgery should be scheduled shortly after that, and since I'm self pay and I don't have to deal with insurance it should be scheduled quick. I'm guessing mid April!

I think you guys will like the sleeve. Had mine on Feb 24th. I lost 10 lbs on pre-op diet and I lost 12 lbs my first week. I am trying not to weigh myself everyday because it's so exciting. Lol but I know I have lost a ton more since then

about to follow you

Such a great job @@wwled! Awesome! I'm panicking waiting to hear back if I've been approved today makes 2 weeks that I haven't heard back from my doctor- am calling to see where I stand hoping my sleeve surgery will take place April sometime - started the progress in September (feels like 4ever ago!) I've always been happy in my skin as the big girl of the group but have longed to go "off the rack" shopping with my size 4 girlfriends! Now I know I won't be that small but I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life and hitting the racks! ????????????

Keep up the great work! ????

I'm just starting out on my journey. I'm 28 and have decided I can not spend my 30's like I have my 20's. Valuable youth was wasted on staying in while all my "skinny" friends went shopping and for fun nights out. But more than that I have a 3 year old daughter who is autistic and she is my world. I want to be able to run, jump, and play with her. So here I am. I'm on this and other sites non stop gathering info. I'm also totally being a creeper in Instagram ( I've prob started fallowing half of you already!)?i love see how everyone is doing and how much their life is improved. Makes this major decision a bit easier! My IG is. lei_mua.

I totally agree with you! I am 27 and I don't want to spend the rest of my life, I spent the past years-- on a yoyo diet. Not what I call an enjoyable life! Looking forward to new experiences that I won't have to worry about if I will "fit" on the chairs or what will I look like!

I'm 23 and have a date set in June to get sleeved. I am so nervous but excited at the same time! It's nice to know other people my age have done this!

Hi all-I'm 23 from Philly getting sleeved on April 7, happy to meet other around my age!

You guys will love it! Now that I'm past the hardest weeks, it's so nice seeing those numbers drop! It's not even the weightloss, I feel so much better in general. Walking is so much easier. I don't feel as weighed down as I did before, and the loose clothing is refreshing!
