hello (:

i am not 15 and i dont live in texas, sowie ):, but i wanted this since i was 17. i got banded when i was 18. i was banded on july 31st 2009, and im 19 now. i only lost 40 pounds (20 pre band) due to a complication which was nausea(i'm not saying that to scare you or anything, everyone is different and i just have a weaker/sensitive stomach) i haven't had a fill yet cause of the nausea, i was supposed to see my dr last month but my insurance like ran out, but as soon as i get one im going to get a fill :wink2: in june of 2008 i went to a support group or seminar about the lapband and a couple days later, called a hospital the surgeron worked at and one in another state that we visit a lot, they both said i had to be 18. but i got to do my 6 month testings in the 9th month i got good news that i was approved and they called a day or two later to schedual my surgery date. i wish you good luck and if you ever need anything feel free to message me (:
