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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
