Any Younger Bansters Here?

Go to Welcome to Spanx by Sara Blakely: Official Site, I bought one of the strapless tops and that helps smooth the muffin top...lol. I want to buy the all-in-one, that really helps. I have one from dillards but after reading about the Spanx. I think it might be more comfortable. They are a bit pricy but its cheaper than a tuck at the time. You get used of wearing it and it makes your clothes look so much better,

Not To Say That Anyone Here Is Old But I Am 21 And I Dont Find That Many People Here My Age - Does This Say That I Am Giving Up To Early? Anyone Here In The 20's Or Younger?

Being Banded On Feb. 7th 2007

I'm more than twice your age and then some. This technology didn't exist until recently. If it had existed, I'd have had a lap band long ago. You are doing the right thing, and shouldn't be embarrassed. Diets don't work. Exercise works for a few, but not for most. Eventually your body will develop co-morbidities, like diabetes, and you'll be in a tougher situation than you are now if you do not get the lap band.

I admire you for having the courage to go forward, and start to resolve your weight problem earlier in life than most. Just remember, the lap band is a tool. You can work against it, or work with it, ultimately we all decide how to relate to it. For those who work with it, the lap band is a life saver, literally. I hope for you it'll become one of your best friends, the quiet, shy one that helped you lose a lot of weight.

26 here, 10 days post op. Overweight my whole life and literally tried everything. Had every co-morbidity, too. This isn't a cop-op, sweetie. It's a god send. I'm so excited about my experience with the lap band, good and bad. I had just about given up on myself.

So glad to hear from a few of you. I think January is the best month to be banded in, after all the Holidays are over. I was bad and ate a lot of sweets, now I have to get back on track. I never really started exercising but I will be starting tomorrow. Good Luck to everyone this month on their new best friend.

Hi everyone....i had my surgery on oct.07 and i have lost 50 pounds so far. I feel like my weight loss has been slower than it should, does anyone else feel this way?

Wait til you have the right fill... My weight loss was super slow and almost non existent the first six months. It helped me get my head on straight but once I got restriction things really started to move. Sure I had some restriction before but once I found my sweet spot things started to be well... SWHEEEEEEET!!!! =) Hang in there.
