My sleeve surgery at 15



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am 15 and I am very nervous about my upcoming surgery. I am 240 lbs and am looking to be like 150. Please give me your feedback with your starting weight and current weight and how many months it took you :)

Nice, you are young and it should be pretty easy to lose a ton of weight, I wouldn't worry at all, I wish I had this done when I was 15! don't forget to exercise and you can't go wrong..

Where can my 14 year old get the sleeve done? I'm in ny but it cost 35,000, I only have 12,000 since insurance won't cover without a co morbidity.

I found $9000 in NC but they are saying we would have to do their program, my daughter already did the complete 6 months and all testing, so we only need a place where we can afford the surgery.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
