Hello, my name is Arianna, I'm 21 years old.
Soon I will be receiving the gastric sleeve in September.
I am going on my final year of college, and I return to school in August.
I have met my surgeon, and soon I have my psych and nutrition evaluation. As I stated before, I am scheduled to have the surgery in September.
These are a few questions I was wondering, and wanted to know what your experience was and how did you handle it, as well as any advice.
*Has anyone had the surgery that was around my age?
*Has anyone gone through the surgery while they were in school?
*How long will I be out of school/work?
*What foods worked best for you, and what foods were horrible?
*What Vitamins should I be taking?
*What exercises are best?
*How do I make sure I get my adequate amounts of Protein and Water?
*Will I have loose skin?
*Did any of your weight related problems go away?
And any advice? Thank you all for you help and answers. I really appreciate it <3
