SkinnyMinnie2Be 255 Posted August 14, 2012 I'm 25 and getting the sleeve this fall. I havent had anyone ask me if I thought I was too young..if anything I wish I had gotten the sleeve years ago So I would have been able to enjoy my early 20's at a healthy weight. The good part is since we our young we will bounce back quickly and less changes of loose skin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ngory07 22 Posted August 18, 2012 I got mine when I was 24. Never too young to be healthy!!! 1 Neese reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isobella 13 Posted August 23, 2012 I just got home from surgery and i now know what head hunger is. there are Cookies on the kitchen table that i would so love to eat. i know im not hungry and it would hurt like crazy to eat anything. im just venting. I felt the same way. It is so frustrating the first several days. And you're never actually physically hungry. Stay strong! 1 tabbymonroe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkbwlr16 20 Posted August 23, 2012 I had surgery on the 21st and came home yesterday. Havent had any issues with wanting food. My struggle so far is being able to drink Water like I used to before sugary. I love water and only being able to sip it is not working for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My struggle so far is being able to drink Water like I used to before sugary. I love Water and only being able to sip it is not working for me. How are you feeling? I know what you mean about the water! I love my water and I hate the idea of not being able to gulp it down! Oh well, I would much rather be a sipper and be thin!

pinkbwlr16 20 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm feeling ok, could definitely be worse. My right side and 2 of my incisions are pretty painful. But as long as in relaxing (laying in bed or sitting down) in ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
