hey Samantha, I'm right where you are. I'm 15 turning 16 soon and I'm having lap banding done on April 1st. I'm 250 and I just want to be healthy and happy. Don't fee lost, because there are a bizillion girls in the same position as you.

Hey....I am 16 and had surgery on August 3...i think that it would be a great idea...i have lost 77bls...and i feel great...but believe me...this sint just going to solve all your problems...it gets really hard!!!...but completely worth it if you ask me...just don't lose sight of yourself...thats been really hard with me...trying to find who i am again....i went to Dr. Felix in Fresno...1-888-555-THIN....they also have a support group.... groups.msn.com/thefelixsupportgroup/ you should check it out... drop me an email sometime!

Hey Samantha, Im in the exact same position as you. Well almost exact. I am 16 years old, and today in fact I'm starting to see if I can get the surgery. My mom is calling the insurance company today to see if they would cover any of the surgeries...I havent made up my mind on which I really want to go with, I want the RNY Gastric Bypass, because its been known to have longer affects and better results, but then, I thought maybe it would be better to get a Lap Band....but we'll see i have more researching to do, you can e-mail me anytime, on here or my other e-mail is [email protected] Good Luck! *-Maggie-* P.s Everyone on here is really supportive and caring, dont be afraid to talk to them.
