Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor F 39 in AZ

I've had my seminar, researched the program, had my first Dr. visit, had labwork done today and psych eval this Saturday. Insurance says about 6 months of weight loss visits prior to surgery, so maybe in June?!

I'm married, 5 kids ( plus my teenage cousin living with us)

work part-time in Real Estate. Christian

BMI around 42 Wt #295 Goal: 175(?)

My husband is supportive, but I'm hesitant to talk with friends about it.....

I'll be happy to answer questions for you as you go through the process. You are probably right not to talk with your friends yet- especially if they have NOT had this surgery. They can have great intentions, your best interests in mind, but not understand what you are going through. Send me a PM with your email address

Hi..I just had surgery on 1-22-10 and would love to be buddies with you. We are the same age and I am in Mesa so we are pretty close. Mindi:thumbup:

Hi,

I am 44 in AZ. I am going to have surgery in march. Would be great to have a semi local person to commiserate with. I am the mother of 3. maybe we could compare ideas and journeys?
