I am only 19 years old and will be turning 20 by the end of this month. I decided to have this surgery about a month and a half ago and I've already completed my pre-surgery checklist. I should be able to schedule my surgery within the next few weeks. I've noticed that when I research the sleeve and success stories, not many of the sleevers are young like me. Is anyone else having this surgery in their early 20's? It would be great to connect with some individuals who made this decision at a young age such as I am!

Anyone who wants to join the Facebook group, private message me your email address and I'll add you that way!

24 and my surgery is October 14! Please let me know if you'd like to join our Facebook group of 20-something (late teens, early thirties welcome as well) sleevers!

I would love to join!

I'm 20 got sleeved on June 9th. Good luck!!

I'll turn 23 in about two weeks and should be getting sleeved in about six (pending insurance clearance). I've been overweight since I was 5. I don't want to spend my twenties feeling held back by my weight like I've spent the rest of my life. Way to go for making the decision!

Hi there! I'm 27, recently engaged and 2 weeks post op! I am so happy I did it while young, it's easier for us to bounce back and live a normal healthy rest of our lives. I just can't wait to look awesome in my wedding dress!! Good luck to you. The first two weeks are the hardest (my opinion) but it's so worth it. I'm 23lbs down already. Worth every single ounce of frustration!!

I can definitely relate to you! I'm just tried of trying without success. I really hope this tool works for us both! Good luck. ????
