Exercise question

[burtonbn 19]

Hi @@hanna91! It seems like we're kind of in the same boat. I'm meeting with my surgeon on the 30th of this month, doing tests in April and having my Nutrition/Psychological exams on the first of May. Hopefully I'll be approved to have surgery sometime in June.

I'm young, like you, and worried about the excess skin and exercise post-op. From what I hear, younger people generally have an easier time with skin issues because our skin is more elastic. One of my best friends had Gastric surgery about a year and a half ago, she's down about 100 pounds and hasn't had any issues with skin, but she exercises regularly.

Gives me hope!

I'm glad to see someone my age on the same timeline as me. Any idea when you might be having surgery?

So i have my nutrition appt March 24. Psych eval March 31 and surgical consult April 10. So I was hoping late April or early May. It will probably early May because of insurance approval and availability of the surgeon. I'm so excited. My sister and I are actually doing this together and my other sister had bypass 8 years ago. I'm 23 and my sister is 25. It's going to be a whole new life.
