Hello Everybody,

My name is Justin. I am a twenty three year old lap band patient. My surgery was almost was five years ago. I am looking for friends to conversate with or help along the process. It is hard to find young lap band patients in my area. So everybody don't be shy. Any question or comments please let me know.

Justin

After losing large sums of weight you can't belive how hard twenty lbs looks. Yes, i hope I can find some friends on here because I have had no luck finding any younger ones around where I live. When I go to support meetings I am the youngest one there by like fifeteen years easy. It would be nice to meet somebody around my age to talk too because it's a life change not a one time thing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
