Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Dec 11th surgery and I'm in MA :)

[bethm 0]

Hi all,

I'm 41 and need to lose 160 pounds. I started the liquid diet Sunday and my surgery is December 11th.

I am excited, nervous, scared and all sorts of emotions jumbled up. I find myself scouring the forums which my doctor advised me against because while there's lots of information there are also equal amounts of negative or incorrect.

I would LOVE a mentor who started their journey around my size and around my age. Things I am worried about are.. will I look like really bad when I lose weight because I have so much to lose and my age. I know that I will have loose skin but I can never afford plastic surgery.

Thanks so much :whatchutalkingabout
