    I'd love to have a few friends around my age with a sleeve or thinking about it or in the process!

    I am 43 and wish I had this done 10 years ago. In my 20's I could seem to maintain my weight but as soon as I hit around 33 - 35 it has just been out of control. I have my surgery on July 22!!!!!!!!!! Super excited. If you really feel like this is something you need to help you lose and maintain your weight then I say GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm 28, so a little older, but I had been thinking about WLS for about 2-3 years. When I was quite a bit younger, I was convinced I wouldn't do the surgery because I was thought the "natural way" was the only self-respecting thing to do. I think there is still quite a lot of stigma that revolves around bariatric surgery. It's really only a tool. I'm sure we all know someone (or many) who have had surgery and gained it all back. Best of luck!

    I'm a bit older than you at 28, and I can tell you that I felt surgery was worth the risk to drastically improve the quality of my life while I am young! Congrats on your weight loss. You're doing awesome!
