I've lost about to 87 pounds so far.
Give or take.

I'm feeling really good i can't eat that much.

The wait was worth it.



I just want to say to everyone that's waiting on the surgery
If it's because of age or anything DONT GIVE UP
I wanted to give up 45847545 million times
But now that i have it,It's an amazing thing.

Being 16 and having it isn't easy but
It's something i had to do.


Well i just wanted to stop by and say hello
I'll be coming back on more often.

Congrats on your amazing weight loss!!!
I'm 20 and will hopefully be having the surgery before i'm 22, or 21 if i'm lucky.
All the best on your way to your goal!

Hi Sabrina,
i have a 14 year old son who has a bmi of 42. I am considering lap band surgery  for him but because he is so young i wonder if he will be able to comply with the program. Do you think a bypass or mini-bypass is easier for teens? Why did you decide to have the bypass instead of the lap band. How do the 2 operations compare in the future as far as maintaining weight lose?  Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated. Thank You, jelizabeth
