24 Year old dude getting sleeved on the 29th

Hey guys. My name's Jeff. I'm from NJ, and I am getting sleeved on 9/29/14. Just hoping to meet some cool people who are either in my, or have been in my situation. Always been obese, tried dieting and other sorts of weight loss remedies to no avail, so I find myself opting for WLS. Hope everyone is doing well. BTW, my IG is jgordonfresh, and i usually post pictures of my two shih tzus, lol.

Congrats to you, Dude! I commend you for taking action at such an early age - I had my surgery at 43 years old....I wasted too much time being overweight, unhappy and unhealthy.

Best of luck to you!

I'm 23 years old, I live in the NY area and I had my sleeve surgery done on August 27th alongside my Mom who went for the same procedure. Believe me, the only regret I've had so far was not getting this done sooner. You and I are both going to be changed men. :)

I'm 23 years old living in NJ. I"m in the pre-op phase right now. Hoping to have my surgery in November 2014. Good luck to you!

My surgery day is also on September 29. I'm a bit anxious about it, but I've struggled with my weight since I was a child and now at the age of 25 I'm more than ready to get sleeved. Best wishes to you on your journey!
