AndreaB96 2 Posted September 4, 2017 So I'm 21 yrs old and I'm getting the gastric sleeve in 9 days. I haven't been able to connect with anyone relatively around my age because I'm in such a small town and there aren't a lot of people who get this surgery around me to begin with. I just want to know what some people think the pros and cons of getting the surgery so young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamingsmall 1,125 Posted September 12, 2017 Your not that young. I can't see why there would be an issue. My surgeon does over 18 :). I was 26. If I can help with any questions go ahead. Your getting control over your life early. You should be proud of yourself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
