I am currently 19 years old, and weigh a wopping 265 pounds. According to my BMI and such, i am a little over 40, and as far is insurance is concerned and stuff, i am all set to go.
I just made my first appointment with Dr. Billy in Ventura County, Ca, and can't wait. My goal is to just get below 200, so about 65 pounds.
#1. Will I have a lot of excess skin from this?
#2. My mom has gotten the surgery done, and a LOT of her food gets stuck right before the band. Does a lot of people have this problem?
Personally, i cannot wait..I've always wanted to just look in the mirror and say to myself that i am not fat. I am hoping a year from now i will be able to achieve this.
