Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Hopefully b4 my 11/22 surgery date

[mommyesq 0]

I am scheduled for 11/22 which is also my birthday (how ironic) and my confidence is high one day and at an all time low the next. Looking for someone who has been there and can help me make it through this process.

I am a newly married 41 year old woman with a wonderful 12 year old son. I grew up in NY and live in NC.

...not a mentor, but happy to be a 'buddy'-I'll be banded Dec. 20; I'm 43 years old, married, with a 14 year old and 12 year old, both boys. Like you, I'm eager, but anxious! Perhaps we could share this experience and learn from each other!

Hi..I'm Dee. I am 42 and a mother of 3 girls. I was banded on the 19th of Oct. I would love to be your buddy. I'm here if you need to chat.

I was really sore where the port area is but much better now. I have lost 22lbs since my 1st visit to the Dr the end of Sept. I am eating solids but not able to eat much at all. I have my 1st fill on Dec 3rd.

Good luck on your new journey!!
