Looking for a mentor &/or buddy!

[Jennifer8 1]

Hi all, I've got my surgery booked for Tuesday, & my overwhelming feeling is excitement. I've wanted this for well over a year & I'm ready to be out the other side of the op now!

So far, I've only been able to speak to one person who has had a lap band fitted, and they told me it was pointless and they were now heavier than when they started. I have so many questions, and there are naturally things I am worried/concerned about, I would sincerely appreciate having someone to speak to and guide me through the process. Or anybody else who is just starting this journey and wants a buddy!

I'm 25, female, work full time and I'm from the UK. If anybody is willing to speak to me at all it would be such a relief!

Please and thank you so much in advance!

Hi Jenni,

I'm over a year out from my band placement and I don't regret it. Some days are hard and there's a learning curve to eating, but it was worth it. Feel free to chat with me anytime.
