Looking for someone my age to talk to!



Recommended Posts

Hello! I'm 18 f east coast usa and I wanted to talk to people, male or female, 18 to 22ish yr old, that are going through weight struggles and successes and even people who are thinking about/getting/have had the lapband surgery.

I'm not saying I do not appreciate the input of older people, I just want to listen to words I can relate to.

If you are interested in chatting, I've got aim or we can just email back and forth.

Thanks!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
