I am 28 years old and I had the lapband 3 months after my 27th brithday. I am an Airforce wife and I love it. I run a support group here at Nellis AFB you can find us at...Banded together at Nellis AFB/ Facebook ,ask to join we would love to have you! I have lost about 70 pounds and I am very proud of myself I know other people that have lost way more when they are at the same months out as me, but that's okay because I am happy and I have a great group of friends that help me when I feel discouraged. I am disable so I can not work out so all the weight I have lost is because of how I eat now. I would love to be your friend!
