Young and getting the bypass

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!

@@achappex3 really wonderful. I've had no complications, and now I'm 9 months out and down about 150 pounds. Highland and the bariatric center there have been super good to me.
