Any Banders In Their 20s's????



Recommended Posts

Have y'all noticed that lots of folks write that they wish they had done it sooner?

Not to mention, so many people say "it's much harder to lose weight when you're older." Well heck! I'd rather get a grip on it now.

I'm 29 and considering lapband. Ok, fine. I'll be 30 in 2 months. But still in my 20's for now!!!

I was just banded on Tue.6/19/07 I am 29

I know I am one of the younger ones at my docs also I feel the younger the better the less years your body will hav ethe extra weight.

I am in a lot of pain as of today just one and a half days afetr my banding

I am sure it gets better

Good luck to you

I know my doctor has several younger patients, including myself...he has many patients who are in their 30s-50s also, but he told me he has quite a few banders who are 18 - 25. Apparently more and more adults are trying to get it done while they are still in their " youth " to say the least. I know I was...I didnt wanna have to be 35, 40 dealing with this weight issue.

They say the port point may be unfortable for 6-8 weeks that is ok as long as it is better than I have been dealing with

Im 29, Yes I am claiming the 20's as long as possible. I will be banded 07-09. I decided to get banded because I didnt want to get any bigger and I cant uses baby fat as an excuse. I do not have any children and I cant imagine how I would look if I was any bigger then what I am if I was to have a family because I do want a child one day.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
