Any teens who have gone through this?

[butterflykisses327 2]

I'm 19, and almost all the way through the surgical weight loss program. I have one more dietician appointment until the surgeon consult. I'm so nervous about the lifestyle change, especially being so young and not experiencing the normal things a teenager would, post-op.

I'm the youngest one in all my support groups, and it actually kinda sucks to not have anyone who understands where I'm coming from completely..

Hi I'm 18, and I'm almost done with the process I'm waiting for the approval from the phychiatrist and this feels like the longest wait ever. I'm super nervous!!! My appointment was on the 6th of this month she told me that because im young that I may have to do 3-6 more months doing appointments with her. Anybody else experience this ?

Don't worry. I went through the whole process when I was 19 an turned 20 right before my surgery. You'll be alright. Just remember why you doing it. When you drop clothing sizes it feels great

I was 16 when I was going through the process, I turned 17 right before and it's quite a journey, however I'm healthier. It is different though in social aspects, most people don't know or know I had a surgery but not which one. The surgery itself is not anything to worry about, it's all for a good cause. I wish you the best and a happy journey.
