Welcome to the family. I was banned when I was 20 and I am now 24...it is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. It is in no way the easy way out, but really a guide to help you along the path to a healthier you.
Hello Jenny! You are making a great choice that will change your life! I was just banded on the 16th and I couldn't be happier! It's def not easy but it's totally worth it! Keep us posted on your date!

Hey, it's nice to hear from a fellow 20yr old! I was banded on May 28th and its the best decision ive ever made! I'm so happy now that I'm losing weight. Ive lost 28lbs so far and I'm getting my first fill next Tuesday. I hope everything goes well for you. It's hard work but sooooo worth it! :)
Jenny--Hi. It sounds like we are on the same schedule. I just had my consult yesterday and am now waiting for the insurance thumbs up. I've just started my pre-op diet (yea protein shakes) and hope have surgery in late July as well. I'm 26 and live on the west coast. I would be happy to chat with you all the time, anytime!!

Hey more 20 year olds lol. It's weird I still go to the teen section cuz I still feel like I am one =( I'm not banded yet, but I'm on a waiting list so hopefully it'll be soon - they tell me between now and november (great time frame right?)
