Hi guys,

This is a new forum for 30's! I am 32, I live in Sydney Australia and I am being banded next Tuesday 15th Jan. I can't hardly wait for it, I've been overweight more than half my life and tried everything.

I am nervous about my immediate post op pain, nausea and how I will cope, but so many people on here do it every day, so I guess I will manage. I have a very supportive DH who really looks after me, so I am half way there already.

I can't wait to enjoy my 30s more than my 20s.

Hi...I'm 30 (2 wks shy of 31), single, no children, and live in the Chattanooga, TN area. I am waiting for insurance approval, but since my insurance supports weightloss surgery I hope the "weight" isn't too long. I am so excited hearing everyone's success stories I would love to share mine someday.

Hi I m 33 and was banded on nov 28 2007. I have currently lost 69lbs. Happy to see this forum. Interested in what other people my age are going through.

Chell, welcome I'm also from the Chattanoga area!

Thanks...it's nice knowing that someone else is from Chattanooga. Where did you have your LBT done at? I am thinking, once approved, of working with the Memorial program. I hear that they are pretty good pre and post surgery. Hope to talk more.

I used Memorial's system....kinda

I went with Dr Ponce who does surgery at Memorial, I had mine in Dalton GA though. I was self pay, my insurance said I wasn't fat enough or sick enough to qualify. I guess I could have gained another 15 pounds, but I'm stubborn that way....

I had my surgery on Jan 7, 2008. Haven't regretted it for a minute.

I had my first fill today , I am soo excited to finally start shedding the weight, I was banded 2/5/08 and so far I have lost 15 lbs , I have a 10c band and I am 6cc full. :biggrin:
