I'm am 24 and just got scheduled for the sleeve on Feb 16th. Anyone else get the sleeve in their 20s? I'd love to hear experiences and see some before and after photos!

I just turned 27 and am having my sleeve done in March. I’ve had weight issues my whole life and have struggled to keep weight off in my own efforts. I don’t have any before and after pics yet, but it’s great to have other people on here in the same age range!

I'm 26 and just had bypass on the 19th. I have been overweight/obese my ENTIRE life and have struggled with weightloss and my relationship with food and everything else. I have already noticed changes and improvements in my mindset and habits.
I want to be able to have kids and be healthy and I ended up having additional health problems that I wanted to try to reverse. Im already so glad and thankful that I got it done. Im feeling much better then I expected to! I dont have any progress pictures yet either, but I can't wait to have them.
I wish you all the luck on your journey everyone! Feel free to message me and we can be friends (anyone)!

So good to hear! I have PCOS so one of the main reasons I am doing this now is to make it easier for me to have kids in the future. Good luck to both of you!

I got my sleeve in August 19, 2020, at 26 years old. I am so glad I did it!!! I've always been overweight-obese. Finally at my high school weight. never been lower than 171 before. Did it because I started having health issues and I want to have children soon. Good luck!! The first month is the toughest but you'll do great!

It looks like you and I have similar stats (height, weight, and age). So thank you for sharing. I am still pre-op but your information makes me hopeful

Sleeved at 22 on 01/20/21! I am currently down 34 pounds (weight lost from pre op diet included).

Just turned 27 today and I’m scheduled in March ! Best of luck in your journey!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight and how much did you lose on the pre-op? Also - general question, did anyone continue a regular workout routine during the pre-op diet?

My starting weight was 396. Iost about 12 pounds pre op. My pre op diet was supposed to be 10 days. I’m saying supposed to be because I did good the first couple days then started fell off. Definitely could’ve lost more during the pre op if I hadn’t fell off. Everybody’s is different though. Some of the girls I follow on insta got to eat during their pre op diet, I was clear liquids only.

I have not started to work out yet, I do plan on getting back in the gym next week since I’m about to be released back to work. My doctor wants me to just focus on cardio right now.

I got mine jan 18th. 21. I told the Dr i had to have it done before i turned 30 on feb 6th.. Lol.
