Looking into Lap-Band :)

[ByeByeBonBon 1]

Hey there, everyone! After spending quite some time online, researching weight loss surgery, I've decided to become a member here to get some first-hand experiences and information!

My name is Laura, I'm 21 and have been substantially overweight the majority of my life. I've tried it all, as early as 7th grade, but nothing has worked in the long-term. Two years ago, I was my smallest at 5'8, 229lbs. Today I'm weighing in at 345lbs. and am at the point of desperation. I'm hoping that Lap-Band may be the answer I need.

I'll be around the forums, finding out more about the procedure. This is something I'm very interested in, and hope to eventually become another success story

Hello Laura and welcome! When I started learning about lapband I was so excited and now that I'm on my journey I couldn't be happier. It's great to know we are going to get our health back. I'm 22 around your age so if you need to know anything ask.

Hi Laura and welcome...

I started just like you are, with a little research and a lot of questions. This is a great place to start, look around, read, comment get involved besides your surgeon there is a wealth of info in here. Good luck with your journey!
