Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor in Rhode Island or New England!

I am looking for a mentor in my area. Is anyone available? I was banded Sept. 16th. No problems yet, just looking for a friend.

Where are you in RI? I am in North Central CT on the MA border. We could be buddies. I am not banded yet. I have about 2 months before I am.

Hi Nicole!

I am just south of Providence in Warwick. I would be more than happy to chat if you have any questions. I was banded just under 1 month ago. I still have had no major issues, just the routine troubles that arise. Maybe helping someone through this process would be beneficial for me by keeping my spirits up! My starting weight was 308 and I am down about 15 pounds so far. Overall, I think this has been the right decisions, though I have moments where its a bit challenging to believe that. You will do great though, and realize how great of a decision you made!

Hi, to the both of you. I live in Cranston, RI and was banded last Dec and have lost 56pds. ( I am very happy with the weight loss), through this time I had experience many acid reflex issues. I could really use a Buddy to talk with.

Hi I live in south central Ma on the CT border but RI is only a 10 minute ride for me. My surgery date is Nov 16th. I started the pre-op liquid diet on Saturday. I am very excited about my new life! Hope to find a buddy here. Good luck to everyone! Could someone tell me how I can get a weight tracker that I have seen many people have?
