Hi Everyone, New to this board
Hi Everyone,
I just found this board and I am really excited. Most everyone on the Realize band and Lap band boards are much older than I am. I am 22 and I was banded on 2/24/10. My heaviest weight was 245 and I am now 223. I'm 5'9'' and my BMI was around 37 but I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, which at 22 is pretty scary.
I'm in grad school, and I had the surgery right in the middle of the semester, looking back that was a crazy idea. I have been very lucky that everyone in my program and all my professors have been very supportive.I am enjoying my band so far and I am getting my first fill in a few weeks, which I'm a little nervous about.
I look forward to talking to everyone in the future :)

Hi Erin! I'm having my bypass next Friday, which is the start of my spring break in grad school so I’ll have a good week to recover! I suddenly came to the realization over winter break that I needed to do this and I couldn’t wait until summer vacation. Luckily, everything has gone quickly and I have had no problems (knock on wood). Let me know how you fill is! Julie
