Any Banders In Their 20s's????

[Lotsacurves 0]

Have y'all noticed that lots of folks write that they wish they had done it sooner?

Not to mention, so many people say "it's much harder to lose weight when you're older." Well heck! I'd rather get a grip on it now.

I'm 29 and considering lapband. Ok, fine. I'll be 30 in 2 months. But still in my 20's for now!!!

I was just banded on Tue.6/19/07 I am 29

I know I am one of the younger ones at my docs also I feel the younger the better the less years your body will hav ethe extra weight.

I am in a lot of pain as of today just one and a half days afetr my banding

I am sure it gets better

Good luck to you

I know my doctor has several younger patients, including myself...he has many patients who are in their 30s-50s also, but he told me he has quite a few banders who are 18 - 25. Apparently more and more adults are trying to get it done while they are still in their " youth " to say the least. I know I was...I didnt wanna have to be 35, 40 dealing with this weight issue.

how long were you in pain from the cuts

They say the port point may be unfortable for 6-8 weeks that is ok as long as it is better than I have been dealing with

Anyway, just wishing all you younger bandsters all the best! I think it's GREAT that you're getting control while you're young!!!! :clap2:

Im 29, Yes I am claiming the 20's as long as possible. I will be banded 07-09. I decided to get banded because I didnt want to get any bigger and I cant uses baby fat as an excuse. I do not have any children and I cant imagine how I would look if I was any bigger then what I am if I was to have a family because I do want a child one day.
