@pembroke24 oh no! But at least it'll get done sooner. How are you feeling?

I was 19 when I got banded in 2009 and in college. And honestly it was a great time. I went to classes and lost weight, a lot of my peers were focused on other things and my weight didn't come up often.

Of course my close friends/roommates knew but as far as having surgery during college, I loved it!

We are all making our lives better, no matter our ages. Good luck my friends! We can do it

I love seeing young people do it too! Even though I'm still technically younger haha almost 18. I had to wait until then to really start the process but my surgeon agreed to start seeing me early so we can get everything ready.

Exactly! It's nice to know we aren't the only young people going through this.

I wish I had surgery at that age! I think at your ages it may be easier to say the loss was from diet & exercise. Good luck to you all!

I'm hoping it'll keep me out of trouble in college. knowing I can't eat like crap or party because it'll upset my stomach. Only down fall is my surgeon is in Wisconsin and I'll be in Colorado. So it'll be lots of trips home for post op appointments.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
