Hey I'm 23 also. May8th is my surgery date! I'm so excited!! I hope I do as well as u. That's amazing. Any tips or pointers about after surgery would be great!!

Hey! Some things that helped me...keep walking...when u wake up, you will feel sore but the best thing you can do is just walk..

Drink your Protein drinks...don't stress about how much you lose...just weigh yourself weekly note very day...be careful w wine and milk.. And any other questions let me know..li was worried about the scars but I can't even see mine anymore.

Hey! I just seen this forum, I will be 23 in September. I have been looking to get to know some people that are as young as I am that are going through this. It doesnt seem like you see that many younger people in their early 20's doing this. I am just getting started with the whole process... dont know when my surgery will be quite yet. Any advice I can get would be great. How are your guy's friends reacting to this? Some of mine showed concern for my health and scared about the actual surgery and then some were just shocked that I couldnt go out and drink with them anymore.

I love my new stomach!! I have had no problems yet and I'm two weeks out. I've lost 27 pds so far. I feel amazing. I have a lot more energy too. My friends were all supportive and officially named me the designated driver hahaha which isn't bad cause I can have fun w/ out alcohol. I would definitely recommend this surgery
