20 Something’s?

Anyone out there in your 20s?

I’m 25. I’m slightly embarrassed to be so young needing surgery, but I’m happy to have a chance to enjoy the rest of my 20s as a healthy person.

  • I'm only 15. Well in my mind anyway. Seriously though, DO NOT be embarrassed at all. Be happy that you are so young and able to do this. Think of all the years ahead of you that you can enjoy so much

    I was 27 when I had surgery. I don't regret it for a minute.

24 here and sleeved on 10/2

I’m 28 and hoping to have surgery early next year!

And I am at the other end of Life, 72, and my own surgery was September 5th, I salute,you for having yours at a young age where you can look forward to a Future Healthy Life with your Little Princess. Live Well & Live Happy!

Got the sleeve at 25. Best decision I ever made.

Hi, I am 29 and starting the weight loss surgery process. I am hoping to lost a significant amount of weight by my 30th birthday next summer!

Hi! Good luck with your surgery! I am scheduled for bypass on 2/13. What made you decide on the duodenal switch procedure? I had never even heard of it until one of my required life skills classes. I do not believe that my surgeon's office offers it so I am just curious about what it is.

I'm 26 and hopefully within the next few months I'll be having my surgery!
