Hi, My name is Ashley. I am 21 years old and 297lbs. I hate that I am that weight. I have struggled my whole life with health issues that have made it a challenge to lose weight. Most recently, I have had the worst lower back pain due to spinal stenosis, Degenerative Disc Disease and 4 herneated discs. I know I am so young for Bariatrics but after seeing a spinal surgeon, she recommends it to me. I have done a lot of research on the types of surgeries and plan to make a consult with a surgeon here soon. But I have a few questions. I have read that your social life will change but they never say how. I believe I have a good support system if that it what they mean. And how mentally impacted do you get when getting the surgery and after surgery?
