Looking for someone my age to talk to!

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!

I would love to talk to you. I just turned 22 and have decided to get the band, my surgery date is 5/17. I will send you a message with my email address, feel free to email me whenever you want and if we can get our free time to match we could talk on aim!

I'm 18 and I hope to be banded this summer. I also would love to talk to someone around my age- so if you want to message that would be awesome!

Aw man! I just realized I am getting old:blink:

LOL I was just thinking the same thing :eek: ......any mid-20's in here?

Hey! I'm 22 and my surgery is scheduled for June 1st YAAAY:thumbup:...and if you want even more ppl to talk to there's a age-based forum on the home page. I found it not too long ago and they have all kinds of topics that relate to us! Hit my inbox anytime hun! I'll be sure to keep you all updated

I'm 19 and I should be banded here pretty soon. I'm in the process of setting up my date! You can message me if you'd like my AIM screen name, otherwise feel free to just talk to me through here :scared2:
