Hey everyone my name is Emily and I am 19 and just had the gastric sleeve ! My surgery was December 17, 2013 so I'm fresh off the operating table! My surgery was done at home in northern NJ but I will be going back to school in a few weeks in Gainesville Fl. Even 3 days post op, I'm finding this to be one of the most emotional, exciting, hard and life changing decisions I have ever made. I look forward to finding like minded friends to help me through this process and help anyone else in a similar situation.
