Hi Im Laura im 19, i live in New Zealand. Im am having lap band surgery on the 23rd march so in about a week, im nervous but like you i've been overweight for along time and it has really effected my self esteem. I have been looking into the band for around 2-3 years now but i was to young and the surgeon would not do it. but now i am having it and am excited for the changes it will bring. Good luck at your seminar,let me know how it goes

Hi Im scheduled for the 23rd to it was on the 24th but i had to change it. im on my 8th day of my pre op diet ( i've had a few hiccups fallen off the wagon a bit) but i've lost about 2kg so far. How are you going?

Hi, Im 19 i know your a bit younger then me but i have been wanting this since i was 17, my insurance company only pays $7500 of a $18000 surgery so i would have had to pay for the rest myself but after i went through most of the process my surgeon decided that he didn't want to do it on me at that age.( he had done it on a 14yr old) i am 19 now and should be getting it next month. but there are trials being done on young teens so you should research it there may be one you are eligible for. Good luck

Hi, My name is Laura im 19, 20 this year. I am to, looking for some friends and support from people my own age in the same situation.

I have an appointment tomorrow with my surgeon to determine whats going to happen.
