Getting Vsg At 22



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone' date='

Just thought I would post in the forum! I got approved today for an August 22nd date. I got lucky in the fact that my insurance was actually pretty easy to work with and I got approved the first time I applied. I'm enjoying reading everyone's stories on here and am very glad I am having the surgery before I head back to school in September![/quote']

I'm 24 years old... i just got approved and did my pre-op today. Surgery is Aug 21st! Good luck!!!

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 :)

I felt the same way. It is so frustrating the first several days. And you're never actually physically hungry. Stay strong!

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.

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!

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.
