So i looked into the other threads about teens getting the band. And i didnt see anyone under the age of 17/18. Im 15, im in the process of being evaluated for the band. And i was wondering if theirs anyother people on here more around my age. And what how its emotionally effected you. Much appreciated : D

Btw, if your older then 17, then give me your views for banding younger teens. (14-17ish)

Good luck to you, if you work the Band the way it should be, it's an amazing tool. =]

hey i got approved today so yeah i geuss its a go...but im still scared a little

Hey, I'm currently fif-teen, 304 lbs and 5'5". I just got approved (after the three denials) and am schedualed for sometime in the summer. Before I got approved I wasn't scared at all, but now that it's happening I'm starting to get butterflies.

If anyone has any advice, please help. I can't not go through with this, my body won't be able to take it.

I hope that I have the same results that you have had and congrats. =)

Hello I was hoping you guys might be able to help me. :]

I'm 16 I'll be 17 in nov, I'm 5'1 so I'm really short and I weight 197lbs. It may not seem like alot compared to some people looking to get this done but I'm sort and my BMI is 37.5. I've tried so many diets even unhealthy ones. I just want to be healthy. I'm now in a size 20 tightly All I seem to fit now is sweats. My biological father is over 300 lbs I don't want to end up like that. My back hurts all the time and my hips are sore and my ankles and knees hurt alot. I can't run for maybe more than 5 minutes.I really think this could change my life so so much. Do you think I might meet the requirements?
