I had the sleeve at 19 in 2015, but now I'm going to be converting to the bypass by the end of 2018! Just looking for some people around my age who are also pre-op bypass!

I’m 26 I had my bypass on August 21st

I am 22 and should be having the sleeve in January! How much loose skin did you have? I have seen people say young people don’t have much loose skin.

I JUST turned 30 (had RNY a few weeks ago at 29). I am 100% planning on needing plastic surgery. I have batwings for days. No way that is all snapping back. lol. And super thick stretch marks on my butt and stomach. Those don't return to normal.

But we love you anyway, mousecat88 and don't give up all hope, you could snap back yet!

I'm having my bypass January 31st! I didn't lose enough to have a lot of loose skin but I had a tiny amount.

I'm in a similar boat! 29, about to have RNY in Feb. That weight loss is awesome! Hope I can follow suit, mousecat! =D

believexrebecca, there's a show on Netflix called "The Big Ward" that's shot here in NZ. On the second season is a 19 y/o. Also a couple of young( NZ RNY/sleevers on insta: Simone Anderson, Ariana Omipi, and Nicole Donald (they all have YT accounts, too).
