Hey i'm justin ...i'm 18. it seems like there isnt anyone my age on here. but thats ok. just wondering if anyone else on here is a teen. i'm not banded yet but just started testing and all to get the ball rolling.

I'm 18 & I got banded December 26th. I'd love to talk sometime.

I'm 19...I am in between the teens and twenties...cause at the end of this month I will be 20 but if either of ya'll ever wanna talk I am here!!

You've already lost 21lbs?! My weight keeps shifting from 270 - 274 & it is driving me crazy!

Yeh. I have really been watching what I put in my mouth and walking on my treadmill. I lost my weight quick but I am maintaining my current weight as of now...lol I go back to the doc in feb and see if I need a fill. But my goal is to lose 20 more lbs before my 20th birthday...which is Jan 31. I was be so ecstatic if I make it.

Yup, right here! I was banded Sept. 2007, and everything is going great!

I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off Ash. I really want to get a treadmill but we don't have the money or space... so I've just been walking outside. I feel like I'd get more done on the treadmill because it is very cold outside!

hey, Lauren, 19..

banded oct 11.

It took me about 3-5 days to get insurance to approve & then they gave me like two weeks to get all my other shit in order. I went in for my consult December 15 & had the surgery on December 26th.

HI... i am not a teen but my kids are i have twin girls 13 years old. They are struggling with their weight and i feel bad for them because i know they are uncomfortable and also kids in school can be mean.... They are sooo beautiful inside and out and i feel sooo guilty because i have the lap band and i am eating such smaller portions and for them its hard to eat smaller portions because they are not restricted.. I actually feel bad losing weight. I am going to look into getting them banded. i just want to wish all of you good luck in your weight loss journey...and remember.... "nothing tastes as good as thin feels"
