I didn't realize this was a 20-something thread, but I thought I would post anyway. I was banded 3/25/08 at age 63.

I only wish I did this in my twenties (sigh).

Raised two daughters, celebrated and paid for weddings, nursed my husband during chemo...

I am 52 will be banded on THURSDAY.. I stared at the brochure for 5 years.. and then tuned out everyone saying, you don't need to do this...

YES I DO.. It is MY time now.

I am 41, I had my band done 10 weeks ago back in Oct. lost 46lbs already! Almost 60 lbs if you include the 3 week preop diet. I am very glad to see so many people doing this in their 20's I would not hesitate to tell someone to do it. :thumbup:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
