Is Early Twenties too young for the lapband?

[Tanya_cotto 5]

I'm 24 at 5'3 and i my highest was 284.

Right now i'm 261.3 and my surgery is set for Sept. 30th!

I've also been thinking about this since i was a teen. at 14 i weight about 211 and I've only gone up since then, even though i am active, i have made poor food choices.

I do wish i had started the process earlier, but i am happy that I'm going to have the surgery before any major health complications occur as a result of my obesity.

Good Luck Pumpkin!

Its a good choice and attending the seminar is a great first step!

contact me if you need support or just a chat!

(FYI: I went to my orientation meeting May 30th and the process has gone smoothly since then!)

Just make sure you are comfortable with the surgeon AND the staff since you will be spending most of your time with them! =)

I think that if you had tried to loose weight with several diets and you loose the weight but always gain it back-- don''t waste more time and go ahead and have it done. Chances are that your eating habits are not good enough and with the band you either eat well or suffer the consequences.
