Im Chloe Im 18 from Australia and overweight. My Mum got a lapband 10years ago and has now lost 30kilos. I've always been big but I've now realised there is no non-surgical solution for me other than more weight gain and trust me i have tried! So on July the 30th I am booked in for the lap band.I cant wait. FIFTY SIX DAYS!! :nervous

The thought gives me hope and a real release from alot of sadness that being a young overweight person has caused.

i hope to meet other young people in my situation or who have had the lap band.:clap2:

Cloe, welcome and congratulations on your surgery date. I think it's a great idea having it done young. You have a whole new life ahead.

Hi Chloe, I am Susannah and I live in Melbourne.I was banded in February, and I reckon it was the best decision I have ever made. Good luck with it. Where are you getting banded?

Susannah

I am getting banded at The Avenue hospital Windsor by Professor Paul O'Brien. I've got rave reviews about him and he also did my Mum's operation years and years ago!

Im very grateful for all your support & Im very happy to have found someone in Melbourne!

How long have you been banded and where did you get yours done?
