Hello Nikki! I'm Sydney, 24 years old, and I am actually having surgery on the 29th of September. I'd be happy to kind of walk through my surgery with you so you know what to expect if you like :)

Hi I'm Kacy! My surgery is September 30th! I'm having the gastric bypass. I'm 22 and welcome to the journey! It's a long and eventful one so learn as much as you can, while you can, because trust me 9 months goes fast! What surgery are you looking at getting?!

That's awesome! If you ever have any questions about anything feel free to ask!!!

I also have a YouTube channel which walks you through my journey to bypass! Obviously I'll have a lot more to post about once I'm a post op but watching other people's experiences is a great way to prepare yourself for yours. There are tons of people on here who share their story and I found it really helpful during my 7 month wait.

What made you decide on the bypass?

That's great! I love watching YouTube videos. I know each person has their own experience good and bad. I thought about the sleeve initially but felt the bypass would fit me long term. My mom had the bypass and had amazing results. She went from 400 to 150 since 1999.

That's amazing! Just search Kirstyn Cotto and you should find my page! I don't know anyone personally who has had the surgery but it's still great to hear all of the success stories. I have bad acid reflux so that was one of the main reasons I chose gastric bypass.

Hi Nikki I'm 31 from NY. I just finished everything up the doctors office is going though my file to make sure they didn't miss anything. So I'm hoping to hear something in the next two weeks with a date.!!!!
