Sleeve in your 20s



Recommended Posts

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).

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
