I am new to the site and interested in the band surgery. I need all the support I can get. I'm very young (21) and severely obese. Please support me throughout this journey...I'm always opened to advise and any other constructive criticism.

Welcome to LBT! Cool name!

Welcome to LBT!!

I really appreciate all of the nice, positive, and true comments everyone has provided me with. I just want to lose this weight and I'm gonna do everything I can to do so. Currently, I'm looking into having the procedure financed since I don't have enough in savings. What do you think? Has anyone done that? Are there companies that will work with me since I'm a student w/ little or no credit...let me something, guys.:help: For the past year or so, I have focused all of my attention on rebuilding mentally first, and now it's time for the surgery!! YEEEAAAHHH!!!
