Hi! I am going to be banded in late June and would love to talk to anyone and everyone, but would especially love to hear from other people my age. I am in college and I am not planning on telling anyone about my surgery, only my immediate family, so I am would love to talk to any other secret banders about how hard they find it to keep a secret while going out to eat or to bars with friends. Yay Lap-Band...here I come!

I too should be banded in late June or early July. I have not told anyone except for those closest to me. I have overheard people talking about an x-co-worker and her being banded. For some reason, they say it's cheating. Okay well if that's cheating...I guess I have suddenly become a "cheater"! Ha Ha

Hi lulu! My name is Breanne, I am 22yrs old and I am being banded on June 19, 2009. What is your date?

I live with my mom, dad, and husband, and they are the only people that know about my surgery. I plan to tell no one else. I started this Journey back in December of 2008. At times it has been so hard not to blurt it out to a few certain people. Especially people who I relate to on weight struggles with whom I always chit chat with about dieting. But I am so thankful when I walk away and have not told them. Every bone in my body says don't tell anyone, they will not get it. So I am trusting my own instincts on this one!

Thank the lord for this website, had I not been able to talk about this non stop here I am sure I would have told someone. I am telling you, use this website non stop, when you want to tell someone, come talk here instead! I don't think you'll regret not telling! Keep in touch!

hello I am 24 and I just got the band on the 8th of june, so Im realy new with this but if you have any questions just let me know
