I am 39 and have been heavy most of my life. I have gone on diets and lost some weight, but only to gain it back and then some. I never thought I would have bariatric surgery, until my weight kept gaining and my doc talked to me about the lap-band.
Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was in pain for a few days afterward but returned to work a week and a half post-op. Down about 25lbs altogether. Stopped weighing every day.
