i am a full time nursing student in norther va i also work part time at a telecommunications company so i am a busy girl! i'm going to be banded on 12/26/08 :tounge_smile: im so excited!

=] the countdown has started! I started my liquid low carb diet today which isnt fun! but totally worth it! I cant wait until 1:30 on next FRIDAY!!!!! yay are there any other 26th bandsters?

its not really that they are jealous. well idk! but things have gotten better since i posted this. my 3 best friends are all really supportive. one of my best friends even made an account on lbt so she could know more about it! isnt that awesome!!! one of my friends since isnt my friend anymore. not because i wanted it that was nor did it have much or anything to do with the band. but all is well here! <3 chels

I personally think that more people should get banded at a younger age, as long as they are done growing. I wish I could have gotten banded at 16, and went to college not being the "fat chick". But waiting until your 18, is not that bad either, I am 18, almost 19, and I'm getting banded on December 26th. :] I wish all you minors luck finding someone who will band you! BUT if not keep hope and wait until your 18! Getting the band is worth the wait I think :]

I am worried about getting fills but I haven't even been banded yet. :thumbup:

Has anyone else had other weight friends that were jealous that you were getting/got banded? My two closest friends are also over weight not as much as myself but still up there. I feel like I cant talk to them about it because they just say "ah well we'll still be fat" I dont know what to do about it! HELP

Thanks! :cursing:

I will be banded on December 26th!:biggrin::teeth_smile:

Good Luck Everyone!

December 26th! Such a good Christmas present! :biggrin:

im 18 and and also wished i weighed 180 i was never a skinny girl so i dont know how it feels to go threw what youve been threw...i would talk to a doctor and have them see what your options are and if you even qualify...good luck :thumbup:

i never had a really skinny friend...i see myself associating myself with people like me...plumb :thumbup:...skinny girls dont understand...even my best friend who is also over weight doesnt understand why i want to get the band...she says why cant you just diet and go to the gym...she thinks its the easy way out...which i know it isnt....i makes me so MAD! I'm glad there are people out there that understad
