If anyone around my age has before after photos or any advise or wants to be a lap band buddy let me know!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plain 12 Posted January 29, 2009 Hey Lauren, welcome to Lapbandtalk. I feel ya on the beer thing, but I haven't had one since my surgery. In the big picture, it's a small price to pay. RE: bandsters your age and before / after pics, there are sections that divide bandsters up by age. I think you'll have better luck if you check there. And there is a thread that has, like 100+ pages of before / after pics (I think it's in the "General Discussion" section). Take a look around.....there's a lot to find! Good luck!
