Alizmarieo 0 Posted May 23, 2007 I'm a 20 year old female and I'm considering getting lap-band surgery. Are there any young girls out there who have had the surgery? How did it go for you? Would you recommend getting it at such a young age? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marimaru 7 Posted May 23, 2007 Hey there, here's a link to a whole thread of people in their 20s (and at least one 18 year old). http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/anyone-banded-who-thier-20s-34936/ I was 22 when I got mine, and I'm 25 now, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who sees the pattern starting with the trying to lose weight, gaining more, etc, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alicat3924 0 Posted May 23, 2007 I started my lap band journey when I was just 24 just turning 25, I wanted to get it done since I was 23, but had to go through all the pre-surgery stuff and didn't have great insurance, I say if your doctor thinks you should get it done, get it done!! If you follow the band rules you will succeed!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sugar_and_magik 0 Posted May 24, 2007 I'm 25 and I just got it done April 30th. So far, I'm doing OK and learning to change my eating behaviors. I'm glad I did it at this age, when I went to the seminar all I saw were people my parents age with all sorts of medical problems related to obesity. I decided I didn't want to be like that and to get banded now and hopefully avoid most of those medical problems. Andrea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
