My name is Amanda, and I am considering getting lap-band surgery.
I have been overweight literally my whole life (except for maybe when I was born!). My whole family is also overweight.
When I got my gallbladder removed, my surgeon also mentioned to me that he does lap-band surgery and thinks that it is something I should consider and would be beneficial for me.
I am just not too sure about getting it because I am only 20 years old.
I would love to hear from anyone else who got it, especially if you are young or know someone who's gotten it around my age. (:
Is this surgery safe for someone as young as 20?
