Lately I've been having surgery regrets. Part of me wishes I could turn back to food. But then I got into more thinking, and my biggest regret is getting so big in the first place. I constantly gained from the age of 6. I was 100lbs by 1st grade, and 200lbs by 6th grade, probably 320lbs by 9th grade. I wish I didn't have to worry about what I ate. I wish I had a fast metabolism so I could eat anything I wanted. I wish I didn't have binge eating disorder. I wish my parents limited me a lot more as a child, I wish they never bought junk. I wish they didn't introduce chips into my diet when I was around 10. I wish I would've at least maintained my weight more as a child so I could grow into it. I'm only 20, I wish I didn't go through all of this so young. I'm just struggling.
It sounds like you're doing stellar!! I added you as well :) I love basking in all the success around here. It keeps me motivated 
I haven't mine yet, no. My insurance company made me wait a year (
) but it will be sometime in may, so long as everything gets approved properly. I'd be happy to keep in touch, it seems like we should be pretty close time wise (as long as everything goes to plan on my end 
).
Hello Crystal,
My all time high was 349. My weight on the date of my surgery was 272 (11/292018). I am currently at 237 (2/26/2019). I did very well through my surgery and seem to be doing just as well now 90 days post op. No regrets.
Hi Crystal,
Have you had your surgery yet? Mine is scheduled for April 9th, 2019. I would be glad to keep in touch with you if you would like.

I'm glad you're doing better!!
I've been off for a while too. I ended up having complications and had to have 2 more subsequent surgeries. So now I have a RNY instead of sleeve. I had it done on 12/20/18 and I've been doing well since then. It just was very rough for the month of December but I'm feeling great now.
Hi, I'm new here and been trying to find the same thing. I'm 27 as well and 274lbs. My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 27th so only a few weeks away. I'm more than happy to e-mail back and forth.
