  1. So im sixteen years old and im considering getting the lapband surgery, but i have questions and i hope that people can answer them. 1) How long does it take until you can get the surgery? 2) Does the surgery leave scars on your stomach? 3) How long would it take to lose about 50 pounds? Im so scared to get this surgery, my parents are supporting me and I dont want to tell me friends that I'm most likely going to get it. My appointment is on march 30 to talk to the surgeon about getting the operations. Does anyone have any tips for me? Thanks:)
