I was 18 when I first started looking into the lapband and am going to receive the surgery in the beginning of this summer (2011). I am excited. I'm 316 lbs, 19, f, and live on the East Coast. If you wanna talk, email me. I love talking to people.

I'm happy to hear that your aunt supports you! Great going! Good luck!

Hello! I'm 18 (almost 19) f and a college student. I've already met with the surgeon and I've yet to see the specialists. I am getting the LAP-BAND®® on 12/21/10 (because I want to do it over winter break). I'm 5'3 and 320 lbs. I need to lose weight! I'm not on any sort of diet right now besides moderation. I'm going for my first nutrition class tomorrow and I am very excited. If you want to be my LAP-BAND®® buddy, send me a PM. I would honestly prefer a woman but men are welcome to be a possible mentor too. And not to sound crude but anyone under 40 is good. I just feel I wont be able to relate to anyone older. Thanks for reading, Tasteyourtears34

Hello, I'm 18 f nj and I'm going to my first overeater's anonymous meeting tonight. I'm nervous. I'm going with my dad because he supports me all the way. I am pre-op and will get my surgery Dec 21st. What should I expect at the meeting? I've never been to a support group before. ~Tasteyoutears34

Hello everyone, I'm a freshman in college, 18 years old, and I've got a question. I go to school five hours away from my home town and I really want the lap band surgery (already am going to see a doctor in june). However, how am I supposed to get my fills? Can I get fills at my local hospital? Or do they have to be done by the surgeon that did the procedure? Thanks guys!

Hello! I'm 18 f east coast usa and I wanted to talk to people, male or female, 18 to 22ish yr old, that are going through weight struggles and successes and even people who are thinking about/getting/have had the lapband surgery. I'm not saying I do not appreciate the input of older people, I just want to listen to words I can relate to. If you are interested in chatting, I've got aim or we can just email back and forth. Thanks!
