Hello everyone, my name is Dominique! I am 19 years old! I'm from Boston Mass, though I currently live in Florida. I'm studying to become a veterinarian and currently have my Vet assistant license issued to me by the state of Florida. I work part time as a Junior processor at a mortgage company and got to college full time! I'm 5'0 and weighed 195 prior to my gastric sleeve surgery. I had the sleeve done April 29 in Tijuana, Mexico. I am about 2 weeks in and have already lost 16 pounds! So far I have had a lot of ups and down from the surgery, and sometimes wonder if I got it too young or jumped into it too soon, but I've been getting a lot of support from family members and friends and am slowly getting stronger and more sure of my life changing choice! I hope to meet others out there with some of the same concerns and worries as me so we can get through those together! I'm a very friendly person and enjoy making new friends, so don't be afraid to message me! When not talking about my surgery I enjoy chatting about anime, animals, writing, books, music, interests, and pass times! I know a decent amount of Spanish and Italian for those who wish to talk in those languages! Thank you for reading!

Welcome to BariatricPal and congratulations on your success so far. I was sleeved April 20 and couldn't imagine going through the process without the support and what I have learned on this site.

Hola! Welcome and congratulations to you.
