I am 20 years old and dec 15 was the day that changed my life for the better! I was banded and proud of it. My life has dramatically changed and so far I'm down 50 pounds!! To make things even better I was asked out on a date by a gym trainer! ME! The girl who has always been chubby since adolescence! Going out on a date! I can't help but smile ear to ear. Sorry for venting on this thing but I can't hide my joy :-) hope everyone is experiencing many joyous events with your new lives.

Thank you guys!

Does anyone else randomly get bloated? Ohhhh man, Sometimes it unbearable.

Girl keep your head up! I'm 20 an when my journey began I weighed 265 and stood at 5'5. I too had to do a 6 month diet with a dietician and was denied after an entire year of wanting the surgery. I know I'm young, but when you really want something, it's worth waiting for. After my 3rd attempt I was approved for the surgery. So all I have to say is fight for what you want. If you want it, you'll make it happen. (:

I have had my band for about a month now. I know we all have different types of bodies and metabolisms, therefore we all have different outcomes. BUUUUUT, how long did it take some of you guys to see major pounds shed?

WOOOOOT WOOOOT! Congrats on getting it girl! I turned 20 this past November and was banded in dec 12'. We have to stay motivated so we can be fit, healthy, a overall smokin for our 21st! (:

When you work out to the same routines your body gets used to it. Try changing up your excersize routine. Maybe add a Zumba class or an aqua fit class to change up your methods (:

I was banded on 12/15 and it has been amazing to read success stories on here. You guys have been my motivation to keep pushing forward and try to lose more weight! So far I have lost 15 pounds! I can't wait to say I have had as much succes as most of you! Keep up the great work all! New year, new you (:

Thank you ladies! I look forward to reading more success stories and lap band adventures! (:
