I wish my 13 year old son could get it done. I am sure insurance will not cover it at his age.

it can be done, but he may regret it, im regretting it so much.

I didn't know people young as 16 were getting this done. I wish I could have done it when I was 16. Think of how different my life would have turned out.. I might even be married with kids right now.

Wow. I don't think your size has anything to do with finding love. It's the love and respect for yourself that makes people love you. You could be a size 2 and if you don't know how to love and honor yourself, you'll still be alone.

Hi I'm Brittney, I'm 23 and I was sleeved on May 1st. I'm still having a large amount of pain. =( I do not regret it at all though. I'm having trouble geting my Water in and I haven't started on Protein. I hope everything will get easier soon.

I've posted on several other threads, but I'm generally not an active poster.

My name is TJ. I'm 26 years young. I was sleeved on July 20th. I weighed in at 337 pounds when I decided to have this surgery. As of this morning, I'm down to 272 pounds.

Managing to get my 60 oz of fluids a day and I'm a few days into my Protein shake stage. Can't wait to go back to the gym in a few weeks.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
