Hi! I saw that they started a "twentysomething" thread and I thought that was a great idea!

I would like to meet others who are around my age to learn from, chart progress, make friends, etc.

I would also like to know things like when you had your surgery, where, weight loss, age related bandster issues (if any) etc.

I'll start: I'm 33 (will be 34 on date of my surgery in 2 weeks) Married mother of 15 & 16 year olds. I live in Ventura County, CA.

Going to Mexico to have Dr. Joya band me on the 26th!

Thank you!

Thanks Karla - I appreciate the encouragement! I think we all have those days, and this site will undoubtedly make them easier. :bananapartyhat:

Karla,

Thanks. I'm kindof scared right now, but this time tomorrow I will be banded!

I am being banded in less than 48 hours. 8/1/06 (won't know the exact time till I call Monday)

I'm so excited. I want to wish all the rest of the thirtysomethings with surgeries this week health and a smooth surgery.:bananapartyhat:

Thanks, Biggirlpantiez!!

I am the 31 year old mother of a 10 (almost 11) and a 14 year old. I'm married (they say the 3rd time is the charm) to an "older guy" - he's 49. Anyone else have feedback on the "saggy skin" issue? All I've figured out so far is WATER - lots of WATER is the best hope in keeping firmer skin after weight loss.

You know dezadoo,

I accidentally added that extra "e" into your sentence... then i realized you meant surgery lol

Lizzi - I did the same thing!!

Hey girl, glad you are recovering nicely. I was so worried about you in Mexico all by yourself. You are a seriously strong super chica, I NEVER would have done it if I had to leave the country.

Hi, I'm Tonya. I live in S.C. I have a 16 month old little girl and a wonderful and supportive husband. Oh, I can't forget my little maltese puppy.

I'm not banded yet, but I hope I will be soon. I am doing my 6 month diet now for my ins.

I hope everyone is doing GREAT with their weight lose! I can't wait to join you.
