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!

I am 35, was banded 6/27/12, and have lost about 30 lbs so far. I'm looking to make friends on here too! Feel free to add me!

I'm 33 and was banded 9/4/12. Lost 26.8 so far. Feel free to message me. I'm also on MFP goalseeker32.

So how's very one doing? My big day is gettin closer... Dec 3! I am 34 and have a lower bmi, 32. Yet obese is obese! I hope this is my time! My nerves are getting worse lol! I am trying I mentally prepare myself for this

Positive change but every once in awhile the thoughts of my track record over the past 20 years ( obviously not good lol) creep in and I get nervous! Any thoughts?

I'm 37 and was banded on 2/20/2012. I hit my 50lb gone milestone today. It includes preop but I'll take it!!

I'm 32 and have yet to be banded. Hoping to have my surgery in July.

Hey friends! 33 years old and banded with plication just 5 days ago. I started at 315lbs when I started my liquid diet on October 21st, and as of this morning, I'm at 287lbs! 22lbs of that was lost, pre-op during liquid diet.

Too! How was it for you? Sounds like everyone is doing good! Can't wait to get with it:)

Hi I'm new at this forum. I'm 48 years old and I got my insurance process started for blackband. My question is should I do blackband alone a lot man with plication

Hi I am due to this forum. I'm 48 years old and I am trying to get LapBandTalk with plication. I see are in by your name so I'm assuming that you are a nurse. I too am a nurse. How long did you have to take off after the surgery

I am very pleased. My surgeon told me that plication will not only decrease the chances of slips, but also accelerates the weightloss as well as adds greater percentage of excess weight loss. My surgeon also took a picture of my band and completed plication to give to my family waiting for me to come out of recovery.

Age is only in your mind.If you have good health.then you're ahead of the game.im 46 I act like a way younger person.Always look at life as it is all new to me.My eyes are always in wonderment

I'm glad you're doing we'll and that you feel young, but I disagree, age is not only a number. I made this post bc I wanted to speak to people in my age group, not a parental figure. People closer to my age like to share and listen rather than just tell people what they should think, feel, and do. I don't think you're old in any way, but the way I relate to people is MUCH different than you.

Age smage lol.. Does it matter when we are all going through the same thing? I need some buddies on NGO to so pls add me. A question about it... Can anyone else see the conversations you have with other people on there? Like I'm not telling many people I am having wls so if somebody who doesn't know adds me' date=' can they see my conversations with others who have had wls?[/quote']

Only 34, five years older than you. I don't think I'm old as your thread says lb buddy under 40. Anyway clearly we do relate to people differently. Good luck with your journey...
