Hey Jenny!

Welcome to the family. I was banned when I was 20 and I am now 24...it is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. It is in no way the easy way out, but really a guide to help you along the path to a healthier you.

Hey, it's nice to hear from a fellow 20yr old! I was banded on May 28th and its the best decision ive ever made! I'm so happy now that I'm losing weight. Ive lost 28lbs so far and I'm getting my first fill next Tuesday. I hope everything goes well for you. It's hard work but sooooo worth it! :confused_smile:

Hey more 20 year olds lol. It's weird I still go to the teen section cuz I still feel like I am one =( I'm not banded yet, but I'm on a waiting list so hopefully it'll be soon - they tell me between now and november (great time frame right?)

Hey everyone! I'm 23 and getting banded July 18! I'm really proud of us for getting out there and doing this!

My surgeon has told me that being younger definitely helps us stop bad habits early, and is beneficial to our overall recovery and success! yay!
