Hi Everyone!

Hi everyone! Okay, I'm not a teen (I'm 23) but you all are the closest to my age on this site so I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. I'm 23 years old, I live in the bay area in California, I'm a student, part time nanny, and had surgery almost 3 months ago. I just found this board and am really excited to hear about how others close to my age have dealt with having this surgery. I haven't had any problems at all and have lost 69 lbs so far. If anyone wants to chat feel free to email me at [email protected] I hope everyone is having a great day! -Monika

Hey Monika MY name is Kim, i am also 23 and i had my surgery 2 weeks ago. So that is done and i am happy. I went to this page also because it was the closest to my age. I am feeling pretty well but i am down 27 lbs since surgery date and i lost 32 lbs between jan 1st and my surgery so totally i am down 59LBS. Well i hope to hear from you soon. best wishes. KIM

Hi Kim! The first 3 weeks were definitely the hardest for me. I've lost 73 lbs now since surgery so I'm really happy. I feel better than I ever did before surgery. 27lbs in 2 weeks is awesome!!! It just gets better -Monika
