Ok so I'm 16yrs old & My life isn't exactly the best but recently one of my doctors said that he'd be willing to approve me for the Lap band but I still may need other doctors approval & that definately makes me worried..anyways I found this site after researching many things on the lapband & I find it very comforting because theres people in my situation or that have already been in my situation I'm so greatful that I found this place & never imagined anything like this for teens,I hope that within 2yrs I'll have a success story of my own :wink_smile:

Hey everyone! I'm 16yrs old & hopfully going to be banded..things haven't been easy on me in the past few years especially with my mom passing away but now I may have a chance for a new begining & I maybe getting approved for the lapband,I know its going to be very difficult for me but I hope & pray that I'll have a new life style & a new way of thinking if every thing turns out the way I hope it does..I have about 180 pounds to lose but I'm hoping within 2-3yrs I can reach my goal of 150-170 pounds I'm pretty tall 5'4 so even if I still look a bit chubby I'd just be glad to make it under the 250 mark! I'm so happy I came across this site & enjoy reading other peoples posts & hope that you guys welcome me! :wink_smile:
