Turned 23 in December, my birthday present to myself was my band. I was banded Jan 23. Sorry it didn't work out for you these complications scare the crap out of me especially knowing they are very common! So far so good though. I just hit my first short term goal which I wanted to do -25 by the end of March. Hoping for -25 more by the end of July. Don't know we will see! The sleeve is very good. I know a few people at my work (hospital) who have it and have lost a ton of weight. It melts off because they physically can't eat as much. They don't have to mess around with bandster hell and adjustments. I am just too chicken about the fact that they cut 75-80% of your stomach off. One of the main reasons I am doing this is to become body ready for a baby in a few years. I had a son 1 1/2 years ago who was stillborn due to many complications which aren't necessarily attributed to weight but definitely didn't help the situation. I want to be able to have an unfill when I do become pregnant. Good luck!!

Hello! I will be 23 this summer, I am currently doing 6 months of doctor supervision that is required by my insurance before I can have LB surgery. I would love to meet some people around my age to chat with/share ideas with!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
