Looking for bandsters in their 20's

Hi everyone, Joined the site a few weeks ago and hoping to get the lap band surgery soon. Looking for feedback from bandsters in their 20's All comments / suggestions welcome!

Hi Jana, While I am not a bandster myself. My friend Jilliene is she is in her 20's. She's a member of the OH forums but usually just reads and goes about her buisness! I'm sure she'll answer most questions if you ask her. Her profile is: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=S1115224389

Hi Jana, my name is Gabi, 23 years old. I am getting my lap band on Sept 8th. Do you have a date scheduled for your surgery yet. Right now i'm doing the Optifast diet...its my second day.....so far it hasnt been that bad. Good luck on your surgery! Gabi

Hi Jana.. I'm 28 and I was banded in april of this year. umm The band is a great tool as long as your prepared for the slow weight loss.. the weight will come off.. I am down almost 45lbs in 4 months so its working. I wouldn't eat alot of junk food like all the chocolate, ice cream, and well the sweets. I was more of a overeater than anything.. I would eat a whole lot of whatever I was having so this band is working great.. anyway if there's anything you'd like to know just write to me.. Wendy
