    I just got banded on July 1st and I am 27. Been thinking about getting the lap band since I was 24 but wasn't ready to change my social life then, I was a huge partier and loved to drink. Still love to have a good time but now it's just not so important to me anymore.....Makes going out way more exciting now that it's not an everyday thing.

    I was 46 and I wish I could have done it in my 20s! Best decision ever!
