Under 30 Lapbanders

[Vitamin D 0]

I'm 26 and a week post op and I'm starting to soft foods. Since I haven't gone back to work or anything. Social my life hasn't change because I'm basically married and lead a boring life. Trying to move up the corporate letter!

Hi there, I am 28 and was banded on Nov 17 2009... It has been great for me. I am down about 84 pounds and still dropping. Socially, not a lot has changed. I have been pretty open about it from the start so my friends have been very supportive. I still drink, but that has slowed down a bit. I am just careful with it and take it one drink at a time. Dating has been somewhat of a challenge, but I have not done a whole lot of that because I am really trying to focus on myself for now. Anyway, good luck to all! Seems like everyone here is doing very well!

I am 26 but was banded on March 31 at 25. So far everything has been great. I thought it was going to be really difficult because I like to go out and party but my friends have been supportive and it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I don't drink as much, I take it easy. It's been good on my pocket too. I haven't really been dating, focusing on me right now. When things seem hard, small compliment from people definitely help. And it's only a matter of time before you start getting them.n With my pre-op diet I have lost about 30 pounds, and have not have my first fill yet. I have about 10 days til then. This is probably the best decision I have made in my life and I already feel like a new person, and I am finally seeing the light at the end of what was once a very dark and long tunnel.
