Experience & Adviceeee

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
