I'm having surgery in March, and I can't seem to find any one that is around my age. Everyone at my support group is 40+ so I'd like to talk with someone who will have closer results to what I will have.

How is the loose skin post-op? I am 310 pounds, 5'7" and looking very forward to surgery!

I'm so glad to hear from you all! It was a little scary not having anyone my age to talk to about this, because honestly, I don't think it's the same experience as someone a little older. I don't have a husband or kids, so I think it will be nice not to have to worry about anyone other than my self.

As for the alcohol, I rarely go out now, but I do every couple of months. I honestly don't think I will have trouble giving up alcohol. I joined a sorority in college and got all of my drinking out then

Thank you all so much for the replies. I'm sure I will have a bunch of questions

This is a good time to get sleeved! We are young and blessed to get this opportunity at a young age. Just think how much nicer our youth is going to be being healthier!!

I'm 26 and having Surgery in 11 days. My insurance will cover a tummy tuck and boob lift so the only concern I have was my arms. They aren't fugly right now but as soon as I start to lose weight I want to make sure I'm building muscle in the arms to offset the flab!

Good Luck!

We are also close to the same weight so if you ever want to chat let me know!

Hi Kaleigh! I'm 25 was sleeved 11/5. HW for me was 346 SW was 324 CW is 289. I personally am noticing some loose skin on my lower tummy. If I continue to lose as I am, I will eventually need to have some sort of surgery with it. As you said everyone is different. I will b honest I beat myself up mentally some days that I haven't lost more yet, but my dr said it's normal, and I'm right on track. Good luck!

I'm 26 was sleeved July 14, 2015

Im 24 and had surgery 11/17!

I'm 25 and was just sleeved on December 2. 5'4/ SW 263/ CW 252

I'm also nervous about loose skin. I heard that staying moisturizer is key!

Hey, I'm 27 and will have surgery on January 5th. I'd love to talk if you'd like! If you're like me, you're hoping for anyone relatively close to your date, weight, age so you can try to compare to some degree.

anyone on Instagram? follow my journey

I'm 26 years old! And I can help give support!!

I'm 25 and just had surgery on December 7, 2015! I'm 5'6" and weighed 332 lbs on my surgery day. I'm sorry I cannot comment on any loose skin but I have lost 14 lbs to date! When you get closer to your surgery I can give some information about that I have also not encountered many people my age.

I'm 29, had RNY on October 28th. So around 6 weeks out. I'm 5'4 weight right before 250, out of hospital at 252. I'm down 25 pounds. And so happy about it. My highest weight was 298. Worked hard to get my pre surgery weight as low as I could.

29. Being sleeved 12/21. Sooooo ready! 5'3" 267.

I'm 28 and was sleeved on 9/30. I'm 5'0 and started at 204 lbs. I'm down to 169 as of this morning so I haven't lost enough to have any loose skin. My journey was a complete emotional rollercoaster for the first 2-3 weeks after surgery. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or need to talk about anything! Good luck!

Will be 25 in less than a month. Sleeved September 2015
