I was wondering if there were anyone soon-to-be bandsters in their 20's? What has been your experience thus far? Have you shared the news with most people? When is your surgery date? What are some of your goals? etc...

This site is very resourceful but just looking for people around my age who have are going through this life change!

Hope you hear from you all soon!!!

Hello all you 20's peeps

I feel like ive been waiting so long that its not for real! I called today to make sure everything was done bc I was so nervous they were gonna find SOMETHING I didnt do right and postpone it! Im already having trouble sleeping at night bc Im so excited I cant imagine what I will be like this time next week only hours from surgery!

Hey everyone. I'm 27 and just finished my last requirement and I started this journey June 26, 2009. I shared this decision with my immediate family and a cousin. I don't want to share because I don't want to deal with the judgements. I'm scared, nervous and excited. I'm just ready to begin my life. I am scared about the preop diet, but I'm ready.....wishing everyone all success and happiness.

I am 23 and I fit in the category. I have lost over one hundred pounds. I am probably on the record for successful weight loss after lap band treatment within a year. I weighed over 330 pounds during the time of surgery. Two years has lapsed since surgery. I don't go to support groups. I still have problems eating and chewing my food. I have gained several pounds after removing some solution. I had had complications with digestion of foods.
