I'm meeting with my surgeon on April 27th, and hoping to have surgery scheduled for the end of May.

I'm 28 and my goal is to lose 100lbs.

I too would love to have someone to chat with as I make this life change and adjust to new ways.

Hope to find some people to chat or email with!

Thanks!

Hi Jennifer! I will be banded next month, but I am so happy for you that you are on your way to a new YOU! :) Would love a chat buddy too.

Mindy Lou! I'm going to be banded May 4th! Yay I'm so happy for you :) Will definitely think of you the day after my surgery to see if yours went well =)

Hey all, im 26 and I just got banded yesterday! I think we all are taking care of this at the perfect age, where our skin for the most part should shrink back, and our bodies are the strongest they are going to be to make the process even easier.. Please feel free to add me as a friend or read my blog! Congrats to those banded and great luck to those who are on the path!
