I am 26...my surgery is scheduled for July 26th. It's nice to be able to read what others my age are going through. I'm considered a "low bandster“...so I am getting mixed feelings from my sisters about getting this done. They insist I am taking the "easy way out". Of course, I don't see it as that. Both my parents have lap band and are completely supportive. It's just nice to hear or read people my age have the success with this procedure.
