Any young RNYS?

I'm 18 and having my procedure done on the 2nd of september, and was wondering if there was anyone who had done it at my age or is currently doing it around my age?? Haha If you are I'd love to hear your tips and befriend you and we can do this togetherr.!

well im not 18 but i am 21 and i had it done 11 days ago....best choice ive ever made! good luck on ur journey and if u have any questions feel free to ask!

I had surgery when i was 19. It was the best thing that i have ever done, and i would do it all again in a heartbeat. If you just follow your surgeons guidelines you should do great! If you have any questions, feel free to pm me. Good luck!!

 Ditto, I was 21 when I had the surgery and it was the best decision ever! Good luck! We're all here to support you if you need us!

I am 23 I had the surgery when i was 22 it was the best thing i could ever do. you will do fine so long as you do what your doctor says

I am 26 -- Surgery is next month!

So exxcited for youuu!

 I feel old compared to everyone else!  I had surgery right before my 27th birthday.  Welcome though!  Don't worry about how young you are, you actually have an advantage because now you get to live the rest of your (long) life healthy.

I was 18 when I started my journey. BUT, I was 20 when I had it. Im a month out and I wouldn't change it if I could.

I started thinking about it in highschool (graduated at 17), but took me until I was 21 to build up enough courage to schedule a consulation and to amass enough knowledge that this is what I wanted to do.

It has had its ups and downs, but now that I am 100lbs lighter, I can say I WOULD do it again.
