TEENS WHO HAD LAP BAND!!!!!

I'm 18 and I am having Lap Band on February 2, 2009. I would really love to hear from and see pictures of any teens or mid to late 20 year olds who had the Lap Band and how they liked it and everything. Everyone in the Teen section had had RNY and everyone in the Lap Band senction is much older than me so I would really like to relate to someone!! Thanks so much!!!!

You can try the 20's board it all 20 somethin's Your close enough ;O)

Hi, I had the lapband surgery on Dec. 1st of this year. I just turned 20 a couple days ago. I have lost 25 lbs so far. My weight loss has been slower lately because I have no restriction yet but for the first 6 weeks you will pretty much be in what they call "bandster hell" It sucks but its all worth it in the end. I hope you are able to relate. I have never checked this board out...but I'm glad I did. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have.
