I was wondering if there are many people in their early 20's (like me)in here who are or have gotten banded-From what ive seen and heard on-line and around where i live that most people banded are late 20's-30 +... Not that theres a HUGE difference-Just curious =-)

Thanks!

Hey everyone~

My name is Courtney and I am 20 years old I am waiting to get my band. I am waiting for the insurance approval. I see how all the great results are changing your lives and I want that so bad. I am a little young, but I have been over weight for over half my life. I have been thinking about surgery for about 5 years. When I first told my parents they were like just go on a diet so I did, NOTHING works for me. Now they know that every diet does nothing for me. They are behind me 100% now. Keep me informed with all your great results.

I was 22 when I was banded and I'm 23 now. I'm totally happy with my band

How would we start a group for younger people anyways? I think thats a great idea

That is a great idea! We really should start a group

Maybe we should email one of the moderators on here?

Or maybe there is a place to send suggestion emails? I'm going to look around and mail in the suggestion if there is a place to do so.

That would be really good to have... I think we have a lot of different issues that people who are a few decades older might not understand as well. I know pre-surgery I went through a point where I really wish I had someone in their 20s to talk to about the decision I was making!
