kpaige77 49 Posted January 11, 2013 I'm just scared ' date=' I herd you loose you hair, can't drink alcohol. I just don't want to loose my social life[/quote'] If you keep your Protein up around 80 grams a day and take your Vitamins you should lose very little hair! As for the rest I don't know. I don't drink and I have kids! Lol! But I can fellow you- I wish I would have done it sooner! I wont lie to you. This has been the hardest 3 weeks! Its been very emotional and trying but each day is getting better and better. After people start tellingnyou how wonderful you look and you start not fitting in your clothes anymore after only a few weeks you will remember why you wanted this to begin with. I had about a week right when I got home thatni would have done anything to go back in timenand not have had the surgery but it got better quickly. This forum has helped me a lot! Feel free to post anything. I have never had anyone be mean or condescending with a reply. Just a lot of people who have been there and understand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bethxxx 304 Posted January 11, 2013 I'm 20 too and pretty nervous. But I just think of it like this: I am young enough now to turn my life around. I have already wasted too long being overweight, never doing the things I wanted to or going where I want. Now I have the tool I need (sleeve) to change my life so why wouldn't I do it? We are still so young with so much to look forward too!!! Good luck xx P.s message me if you want to chat sometime Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aylalinngren1026 25 Posted March 13, 2013 I'm 19 and I got sleeved yesterday. I'm already at home I feel good. Just sore. For your pain mess get liquid not the whole pills. It helps and sip on Water. Constantly. You will do fine. I was FREAKING OUT LIKE PANIC ATTACK. But it's all good. The anticipation was the worst. Keep in touch. -Ayla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kyllfalcon 768 Posted March 26, 2013 I'm 60, was 59 when I had my surgery. Listen, you don't have to be young to be scared! I was bawling my eyes out on the way into the operating room!! And before the surgery, when I was considering it all, I was scared to death of the lifestyle change I knew must happen. It all turned out to be so easy... so hang in there, this will be the best thing you could do for yourself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
