I was told with the surgery it completely gets rid of it. But I wanted to hear this from someone who experienced it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also find myself doing this and I feel good about it.. Coming from the person who always wants friends. But now I can care less. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my consultation June 28th, and I'm scheduled for surgery in September... No date yet, I hope it's not on my 22nd birthday. Good luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

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

I was wondering about this same thing. I have arthritis in my knee as well as an torn ACL, and I occasionally smoke marijuana when the pains come in my knee. I don't experience having the munchies, I usually eat one thing after and I am all set. What are your thoughts on this?
