Created a new FB account today just for lap-band friends etc. and to track my weight loss for when I get banded/have some accountability or just support when I need it.
The more support the merrier so look for me if you'd like!

Hi Crystal, I am in the same boat as you! I'm also 22 years old with high blood pressure and am a pre-diabetic..
I've decided to definitely get banded and have struggled with who to tell/who not to tell. I'm not ashamed with my decision at all but I do feel like it's not everyone's business. I chose to tell my closest friends and family, and although most are supportive I have had some pretty negative feed back from a friend and a family member. I'm past it now and know I'm making the right decision for me and my health but it did set me back for a little while. In the end you have to do what is right for you and the people who judge you for that shame on them! Tell whoever you feel comfortable with, but keep in mind you will find out who your true friends are! Good luck!
