Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Any Boston MA guys around?

Hi

Just got banded two days ago, am recovering and reading the boards here for inspiration and support.

I'm just wondering if there are any guys in the Eastern Mass/Boston area who are interested in being a "buddy". I don't necessarily need a mentor, I'd just like to have someone to talk with who is either going through what I am or has already gone through it and is willing to share their experience and advice. I'm willing to share my support and encouragement as well, I think it's much easier to do this with support than without. That said, I don't know any guys who have had lap bands, let alone in my area. They must exist though, right?

About me: I'm 36, a manager at a nonprofit organization, a Sox fan, part-time comedian, and former athlete who wants to be an athlete again. That's the plan, anyway. Would be great to get to know someone else going through this in my area, so hit me up if you feel like talking!
