Hey guys I'm 23 yrs old and I was wondering if there where anyone else close to my age or my age when they got it done. I'm just interested. I'm very very big. I would put my weight on here but still very shocked and embarrassed with it. I've notice that there hasn't been anyone close to weight. Any body out there??

I am 22 & will be banded September 6th . You don't have to be embarrased here. We all are on the same journey & have the same problems. We are not here to judge you but to support you

This is a site where size does not matter and yes I know someone your age that had the surgery and was much bigger than you. My son was 536 lbs., 23 years old and had the surgery 5/3/2011 and has lost 135lbs. so far. You are definately not alone in your size or your age. We are all here to support each other, don't be embarrassed about anything. You are taking a huge step and your future will be brighter and healthier for it. Take Care and stay connected with the site.

Thank you for your kindness I'm pretty huge. 360 and not proud of it at all. And I'm only 5 feet tall

Hey girl, you won't be like that for long after surgery. Please stop beating yourself up about it. We are all here for the same thing that you are. Be proud that you are taking charge of your situation and are doing something about it.

I am only 5 ft. tall and when I started my journey last year I weighed 352lbs, I had some health issues and lost around 40 lbs. last summer. I had my surgery 6/19/2012 and have lost 32lbs.

Be ready for big changes, positive changes and please feel good about yourself for having the courage to go through with this process.
