katrinaxox1 1 Posted July 24, 2013 Hello :-) names Katrina. I'm 22 years old. I finally got my surgery date for gastric bypass! It's been a long 6 months but well worth it because I learned a lot about myself, my body and the way food is (par say) I have lost 25 pounds so far! I want to lose another 10 before surgery but its hard!!! I'm here if anyone needs support! Heck I sure do!! Have a wonderful day everyone! <3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShineBright724 70 Posted July 26, 2013 I'm 24 and haven't gotten a date yet (waiting for approval) but hoping that I'll hear something soon! I feel like people in their 20s may be getting this procedure but aren't really utilizing this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katrinaxox1 1 Posted August 3, 2013 What have u been eatting and type of excrise u have been doing? How mush u lost so far? If your referring to me; I've been eating very little meals.. about 3 times a day. A lot of water!! And I do cardio first (treadmill, stairs etc. ) and then I work on my arms (so I don't get excess skin) lol and then I do leg lift and last the elliptical! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barbiedoll77 24 Posted August 3, 2013 I think the doctors should approve this WLS for all the young ones !! I would have done anything to have had this opportunity 10 years sooner !! 1 katrinaxox1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
