buforu21 33 Posted October 25, 2012 Hey everyone! I'm a college student, sophomore to be exact, and I was sleeved in July 2012. So, I was wondering, who else on here is a college student??? I'd love to meet some people who can kind of relate to some of the struggles of being a weight loss surgery patient and being in school. Thanks, look forward to hearing from some people!

I feel you! The workload really has an affect on me! I'm not complaining, but having so many papers due this semester has definitely had its toll on me haha!

maggie4778 22 Posted October 26, 2012 Hi I'm on my 2nd year, and I'm 6 months out!! Let me tell you, school and exercise is hard to do as well as work!!! I feel great and I'm more active Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buforu21 33 Posted October 26, 2012 I agree Maggie! School work plus exercise is difficult, I couldn't imagine juggling a job too! But I will say, one of the biggest NSV I've had is not only fitting into the desks and lecture hall seats, but actually having room to wiggle about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
