Hey! I am an 18-year-old college student trying to get the RNY. I already have a great surgeon and I should be approved no problem. The only problem is that thanks to my education I get to wait til May or June for my surgery. I am committed and have spent months researching before making the decision. I may even start a vlog a month before since I am so young and younger people are starting to get the surgery. (Better to prevent than to have) I am at risk for a ton of things, but what scares me is the diabetes. I hate everything that is wrong with me, I feel like a 50-year-old in a 18-year-old body. Also, it will be nice to be a socially acceptable size, hopefully I won't sweat so much either.
