I was just wondering if there are any banders or soon to be banders in their early to later 20s. Im not sure If Im the youngest bander on here ( im 22 ), but I think I may be one of the younger ones on here looking at everyones ages so far. Just wanting to meet and chat with of the younger banders if possible.

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.

how long were you in pain from the cuts

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

I'm 22...in pants!!! Sorry couldn't resist! Hey, I WAS a tight 26!

Anyway, just wishing all you younger bandsters all the best! I think it's GREAT that you're getting control while you're young!!!! :clap2:

I turned 18 in april. getting banded july hopefully!

I'm 21 and will be banded 7-6...eek!! It's so close but I'm stoked! I'm getting it done in TJ Mexico with Dr. Ortiz! Tomorrow I start my pre-op :hungry: <--- (jk haha)

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.

I'm 19 and banded, I got banded when I was 18..

:mad: the younger the better!

I am 27 and will be banded on Aug 22 by Dr Kirschenbaum in Aurora, CO.
