I am soooo happy to see this thread. I had actually thought of this idea also and was planning on asking the staff at my LAP-BAND® doctor's office about the possibility of doing this with other patients. I just happened to think about checking here today and typing in the words "LAP-BAND® buddy" to see what I came up with. I am in definite need of a LAP-BAND® buddy. I started at about 430 and got down to 379 and after weight gain from the holidays and having to be deflated because my band was too tight, I am back up to 410 and I am absolutely miserable :smile2:. I feel like a complete failure and have been beating myself up over it. Unfortunately I am an emotional eater so that just makes things even worse. I don't want to give up and know that I could use some encouragement and motivation to get me going back in the right direction. So if anyone out there is listening, HELP!! I am a 43 (soon to be 44) year old female in Ft Worth, Tx and was banded by Dr Adam Smith, who I think is an absolute gem. I would love to have a mentor in the Ft Worth area, but a mentor from anywhere would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!!!
