Hi all,

My name is Samantha and I am from Connecticut. I officially start my pre-op diet tomorrow and then go in for the sleeve surgery on the 21st which so happens to be my 21st birthday as well!! woohoo, anyways. My mom has convinced me to start a blog to keep track of my progress and since there are not too many people my age who are either getting the surgery or really want to come out and talk about it. I was wondering if there were any young 20 something year old who either keep blogs or video diaries of their stories and wanted to share so I can take a read before, during and after my journey?

If you are interested in taking a read for yourself...here is a link to my blog. there is not much to it right now and there most likely is horrendous spelling and grammar errors in the posts as well!

Have an awesome day and hope all is well in 2015!

Thanks for posting the link to your new blog. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

I've been watching a twenty-something girl on Youtube and she is fun to watch and has a way of putting what I'm feeling into words. You should check her out.

Tell Clusie L that Frankensleeve sent you!

@@joatsaint I was going to suggest Clusie as well. Her vids are great.

@@samantha1458 there are so many other great vloggers on youtube, just search "VSG" or "Sleeve", "Weight Loss Surgery" "WLS" etc, and you will find plenty of people of all age ranges, some just starting their journey, and I really love some who've vlogged their journey for years.

I may not be 20something anymore, but I started a blog recently to chronicle my life after DS.... unfortunately the first few months aren't there because I was too sick. If you like feel free to check it out.
