Lap Band Buddy Under 40

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 used to feel the same I can't relate to most people on wls site because besides been much older they have a lot of diseases and have much more weight to lose, I'm 34 I was banded 8/6/14 Pre op weight 194 I have only lose 11lbs since then, my second fill will be 10/23 I'm still super hungry can't wait to reach my green zone... I have not experienced any pain when it comes to food I can eat almost everything although I'm trying to make smart choices of course to lose but its really hard I wish I would've done the sleeve instead anyway good luck everyone:)
