I was banded 09/14/12 and am 29 years old. The only people I have met in the support groups that have had lap band are over 70 years old and are having completely different issues than me. I would love to chat with someone young that is going through or has gone through what I have gone through. I think the reason why I don't know of anyone in my age group that has had Lap band is because we keep it a secret for the most part and the seniors love to share. Any who- if you are under 40 and have had lap band, feel free to comment or private message me. I would love someone to talk to. Have a great day!

You are 10 days post op and already on your second fill? My first fill is 12/7.

No, I think you misunderstood me. I was banded 9/14/12 and just had my 2nd fill last week. It ended up being much too tight and I couldn't keep anything down. Went for a 2nd adjustment and now it's perfect. Yay! So I'm down 22 pounds since pre-op.

I'm 21 and had my lapband when I was 18 (2010) Started fresh last week after putting it off for a year because of mental health issues. Lost 2 kilos as of today and loving it this time round!

I had my surgery on 10/31/12 and my first fill isn't until 12/11/12.

Hi guys,

Count me in, I like my band because it's a great tool, but you have put the effort, to me exercising is the key, helps me burn calories faster and makes me feel sooo good, also it gives me something to do instead of being home alone.

Going dancing is also great!!

I'm am 21 now I was 20 when I was banded I have lost 60 lbs in my first year unfortunly I was in a sever car wreak 14 days after getting banded getting severally injured so I'm having to go the slow and steady route I have a year under my belt and in still having to learn to work with my band I feel like day to day it changes I e day I can eat something the next I can't so wish I had better support I live with my 19 yrs old sister who eats fast food 24/7 and doesn't care what she looks like or if she is Health so I really could use support

Hi I'm 21 I was banded when I was 20 I was banded a year and 3 months ago I've listed 60 lbs 14 days after my surgery I was in a sever car accident getting hurt badly so I'm having to go slow and steady and currently I'm living with my 19 yr old sister who eats fast food 24/7 so she is no support

I'm sorry your are having trouble. Are you ok now from the accident? Congrats on the 60 pounds. It must be hard watching your sister eat crap all day when we can only eat a few bites at a time.

I'm losing super slow and if I'm not perfect with my diet I just maintain or gain. It's frustrating. You would think that if I eat less than 1000 cal per day, I'd have to lose weight, right? My body just clings to the weight like nobody's business. I've lost about 20 pounds since the preop diet but I need to lose about 60-70 more.

Talk to you soon. Feel free to private message me. Have a great day!
