I am 26 but was banded on March 31 at 25. So far everything has been great. I thought it was going to be really difficult because I like to go out and party but my friends have been supportive and it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I don't drink as much, I take it easy. It's been good on my pocket too. I haven't really been dating, focusing on me right now. When things seem hard, small compliment from people definitely help. And it's only a matter of time before you start getting them.n With my pre-op diet I have lost about 30 pounds, and have not have my first fill yet. I have about 10 days til then. This is probably the best decision I have made in my life and I already feel like a new person, and I am finally seeing the light at the end of what was once a very dark and long tunnel.

I'm glad you posted this. I was banded March 31st and since I've lost about 20 pounds. I was discouraged at first, but I haven't had my first fill yet. I am greatful for this new journey and am taking it one day at a time but it's the best decision I've ever made in my life.

I just got banded on Wednesday and thankfully I have been able to reduce the pain meds to only before I go to sleep. Today was the first day that I have actually felt hungry, what a horrible feeling. I'm also having those "gassy" feelings that wont go away. Hopefully they will go away soon.
