Well I'm 15 years old and about 250 pounds, I know i need something to help me lose weight, and none of the diets I have tried worked. My mom and I are trying to look into this surgey for me, but reading all the information about it just isn't enough.. I'd really just like to hear it from the people who have been there and done it. I really have no knowledge of it and would like to know everything anyone can offer! Like how much weight people lose from it, and how long it takes.. what kinds of things you eat when banded.. what is the procedure like and how long it takes to recover.. what fills are and where and how they are done.. Is the surgery really worth the money? anything anyone can tell me i would greatly appreciate!
