Any teens who have gone through this?



Recommended Posts

I'm 19, and almost all the way through the surgical weight loss program. I have one more dietician appointment until the surgeon consult. I'm so nervous about the lifestyle change, especially being so young and not experiencing the normal things a teenager would, post-op.

I'm the youngest one in all my support groups, and it actually kinda sucks to not have anyone who understands where I'm coming from completely..

Hi I'm 18, and I'm almost done with the process I'm waiting for the approval from the phychiatrist and this feels like the longest wait ever. I'm super nervous!!! My appointment was on the 6th of this month she told me that because im young that I may have to do 3-6 more months doing appointments with her. Anybody else experience this ?

Don't worry. I went through the whole process when I was 19 an turned 20 right before my surgery. You'll be alright. Just remember why you doing it. When you drop clothing sizes it feels great

I was 16 when I was going through the process, I turned 17 right before and it's quite a journey, however I'm healthier. It is different though in social aspects, most people don't know or know I had a surgery but not which one. The surgery itself is not anything to worry about, it's all for a good cause. I wish you the best and a happy journey.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
