Hi! Today was my consultation with my surgeon and bypass was decided!

I'm 22 years old and wondering if anybody close to my age has had or is having this surgery as well? Thanks!

I'm planning on mid to late May! But my surgeon just submitted my insurance paperwork today! I was surprised when I received a response so soon!!!

I'm 24 hoping to have surgery in June still trying to decide between bypass and sleeve

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 was 23 when I had mine. I'm turned 24 soon after.

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.

I have a 6 month supervised "dieting" period. I am almost done with month 1 lol. So I'm about 5 months out. And boy is it creeping I'm eager. But can't rush time.
