I was 19 when I got banded in 2009 and in college. And honestly it was a great time. I went to classes and lost weight, a lot of my peers were focused on other things and my weight didn't come up often.

Of course my close friends/roommates knew but as far as having surgery during college, I loved it!

We are all making our lives better, no matter our ages. Good luck my friends! We can do it

I love seeing young people do it too! Even though I'm still technically younger haha almost 18. I had to wait until then to really start the process but my surgeon agreed to start seeing me early so we can get everything ready.

Exactly! It's nice to know we aren't the only young people going through this.

I wish I had surgery at that age! I think at your ages it may be easier to say the loss was from diet & exercise. Good luck to you all!

I'm hoping it'll keep me out of trouble in college. knowing I can't eat like crap or party because it'll upset my stomach. Only down fall is my surgeon is in Wisconsin and I'll be in Colorado. So it'll be lots of trips home for post op appointments.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
