Hi! I'm Nikki I'm 34 yrs young. I'm just starting my process I went to the seminar met the surgeon talked with the staff. I'm now waiting on my appointment with the nutritionist and nut. I have a 9 month wait before I can have surgery. I don't have many friends and would love to connect with people who are on the same journey as myself.

Hello Nikki! I'm Sydney, 24 years old, and I am actually having surgery on the 29th of September. I'd be happy to kind of walk through my surgery with you so you know what to expect if you like

[Nikkip35 30]

Hi! That would be great! I'm going to be like a sponge and take in all the information I can over these next several months. Congrats to you too on your journey.

Hi I'm Kacy! My surgery is September 30th! I'm having the gastric bypass. I'm 22 and welcome to the journey! It's a long and eventful one so learn as much as you can, while you can, because trust me 9 months goes fast! What surgery are you looking at getting?!

I'm having the sleeve

[LoseItKacy 347]

That's awesome! If you ever have any questions about anything feel free to ask!!!

I also have a YouTube channel which walks you through my journey to bypass! Obviously I'll have a lot more to post about once I'm a post op but watching other people's experiences is a great way to prepare yourself for yours. There are tons of people on here who share their story and I found it really helpful during my 7 month wait.

What made you decide on the bypass?

[Nikkip35 30]

That's great! I love watching YouTube videos. I know each person has their own experience good and bad. I thought about the sleeve initially but felt the bypass would fit me long term. My mom had the bypass and had amazing results. She went from 400 to 150 since 1999.

Hi! Im 24, and I had the sleeve done aug 31st! I would love to talk to you guys about your journeys!! (:

[LoseItKacy 347]

That's amazing! Just search Kirstyn Cotto and you should find my page! I don't know anyone personally who has had the surgery but it's still great to hear all of the success stories. I have bad acid reflux so that was one of the main reasons I chose gastric bypass.
