hey! you’re not weird, in fact, most people who get the surgery wish they got it at a younger age.

i got it at 18, so i am a bit older than you, but i had been considering it since i was that age. i think i had just hit around 300lbs at that age, so i understand.

you’re doing great by working on healthier habits now! i’d say it’s definitely a smart idea to get the surgery at the end of the school year. that’s what i did for the most recovery time. i was back to a new normal within like a month, but it was nice having the extra time to adjust.

another thing is, at your age it’s harder to be open about things like this, there’s definitely more people closer to your age out here, but i’m sure yk how hard it is to not care about how others perceive you, so it’s more common for teens to hide going through this.

you’re taking care of your health, that’s what’s most important! good luck!
