Hi everyone! Found this app and already posted a question on here and got many answers within an hour! So excited to be a part of this wonderful support system.

As for my journey, I had my consultation yesterday and my psych evaluation next Friday! Hoping to have the surgery beginning of November. Anyone else had WLS when they were in their 20's-30's?

Hello! I'm new as well. I'm 23, and my RNY is just a little over a week away. I can barely contain my excitement! I have yet to really explore this place or make any friends but I can already tell it's a pretty invaluable resource. Feel free to message me anytime if you'd like someone to talk to! :)

I'm also 28 and working to get approved for WLS. Already went to the consultation, and the psych evaluation and now just doing my 6 months of dr supervised weight loss.

Hey, y'all! I'm also just beginning the process! I am 27 years old. I have a 3 yr old son and I am a Phlebotomist. (I draw blood!) I have been to the Seminar, Education class, 1st Dr visit, and my Psych Evaluation is scheduled for September 3rd. I hopefully, will not have to do a Dr supervised diet! I'm so excited to finally be on the path to doing something for myself, for a change! :D Good luck, y'all!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
