Hmmm 30 something men Uh?!?! I think I may stick around this thread a little longer ;)

When I went for my support group meetings there were a couple of men also the other patient that my surgeon operated on that day was a male so it was me and him in recovery. I'm just thinking guys don't necessarily post about it on here as much. Good luck to all of you guys!!

I am getting banded the same day you are man. Good luck to you. I am oon my 4th day of pre-op diet and doing well.

Just wondering if I am about the only guy getting banded? Or perhaps one of the only ones online and talking about it?

So glad to be meeting all the awesome ladies on here who are going through what I am, but wondering if I am the only 30ish guy getting this done?

There seems to be more of a stigma (where I live at least) for guys getting Bariatric Surgery.. what about where you live?

17 days and counting!

I just started the process. Probably looking at Oct - Nov.

I think it's great that this site exists. To me, the real opinions of people going through this process is tremendously helpfull.

Hang in there and good luck. I hope it goes well for you.

Well I just got home from the hospital. A little sore but other than that feeling just fine. My first meals were oki and they stayed down. So I guess we can say that we are starting the nest chapter in our life.

I am a 28 year old male overweight most of my years. I have decided Lap Band was the only choice for me at this point. I have tried dieting and exercise too many times. I need a permanent solution. My cousin who is a male also had the Lap Band done a few years ago he loves it. I have had my consult with the surgeon who will perform the surgery. I have also had all of my pre op testing done. Just dealing with the insurance company now. They wanted more documentation of the 6 month diet that was required. I hope what I am sending them this week will satisfy them. I am very excited to start my journey and live the rest of my life as a healthy person. Good luck to all the guys and gals out there who are working on the process as I am . To all the banded on here, I hope you continue towards your weight loss goals and meet them.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
