Hello, Everyone!!
I just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. I am new to the obesity help page and I am so happy to have found the teen forum!!!
My name is Megan, I am 20 years old (I'll be 21 at the end of Feb.). My wls journey began in August of this year (2004) and I am scheduled for surgery on December 13th at 7:30am! I am 5'4" and weigh 227 and started to become a little chunker in the 3rd grade.
My boyfriend of 3 years (he's 28) had the surgery himself back in March '04 and my dad just had the surgery middle of November '04 (we all have the same surgeon, all with the lap RNY). My mom is now waiting to submit everything to insurance and hopefully she'll be approved also! Our surgeon calls us his expert family. 
Anyhow, just a couple of questions since you are all more my age on this forum, for those post op, how is your skin doing as far as sagging? Any of you have the surgery that was at about my height and weight? What have your results been so far as far as how much weight you've lost, how fast, elasticity of your skin bouncing back? Do you have 'angel wings' (skin hang on your underarms in your tricep area)? How about inner thighs? That's what I'm most worried about. My boyfriend is 6'4" and the day of surgery he was 405 and is now down to 265 but has a lot of hanging skin everywhere and is going to have to have plastic surgery to remove a lot of it. Also, for the women here, do you still have boobs or do they shrink too? I am looking at getting implants afterwards so if anyone here has, let me know how it went, etc.
Okay! I've gotta get to work. I hope you all have a great day! Talk to you all more later!! Good luck and best wishes to everyone!!!

I am really excited to see someone close to my age here as well. We seem to have a bit in common. I am 22 years old and currently 271 lbs. I also have a boyfriend of 3 years who, although is not having the surgery, is very supportive. I am still in the working stages of wanting gastric bypass. I am happy for you and wish you the best. Thanks.
