Need a Buddy or Mentor in NYC

[Rediscovering Erin 0]

Hi there, I'm Erin and I live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan. I am 31 years old, single and have two dogs...no children no plans for children.

I am going to be banded one week from tomorrow. Tonight is my meeting with my doctor to go over pre-admission testing and get final approval. Of course, I keep expecting something to happen to postpone this surgery.

I could really use a friend to talk to as I go through this...

My name is Jeannie, live in the Hudson Valley, am 49 and was banded almost 2 years ago.No regrets, have done well...just in a rut with 20-30 more pounds to lose. Need support, no lapband support groups that meet live. Still finding changing eating habits like eating slow tough, which makes a huge difference with the band! Hang in there with those new bands, the first few weeks are tough but worth it!
