Student NEEDS HELP OHIO



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am a student in Ninth Grade and I am 290 pounds at 5 feet 10 inches, 14 years old, 15 years old later this month.

My mom and I have been reading about Lap Band and saw many articles where 14 and 15 year olds have had Lap Band surgery & they have been sucessful.

We are looking for Doctors that will do LAP BAND surgery on 15 years old in any part of OHIO I live around Canton, Akron, Cleveland.

Also how much have you lost after your surgery?

After the surgery will I need plastic surgery for excess skin?

If anyone can help me out please email me at nwmsfootball79@aol.com

Thanks

I don't know of anybody in Ohio, i'm from Ma. My suggestion would be to check out the childrens hospitals, in boston they are starting to do it on teens experimentally. Goodluck!!

My doctor is in Cinci Ohio and he is the best in the world in my opinion. He is my fill doctor and he is the most kind, considerate, caring and really truly talks to you about what's going on in your life. I have lost 50 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I don't know about his age requirements but I'll sure give you his numbers and website and if you call them tell them Sherri Smith sent you. He'll get a kick out of it.

If you ever have any questions pm me and I will answer anything you want to ask. I sure wish you luck and if I can help with anything please let me know.

Dr. Aviv Ben-Meir does bands at St. Vincent Charity in Cleveland. I don't know if he has done any teens, but it would be worth a call to the Cleveland Center for Bariatrics.

I hope you find the answers you're looking for - my son is going to be 15 in April and could lose 20 lbs...It's hard going through adolescence and dealing with weight issues, too. I hope the doctors help you...This board is a great place to be for support and advice no matter how old you are. Good luck to you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
