Looking for a Band Buddy in the Bronx

Hey all!

So, I was banded in August of 2009, so I am approx. a lil over 5 months post op. I always thought I would be really involved on here and on youtube with other bandsters, but I have yet to accomplish that. I would really love to have someone close by that is going through or even went through this process, just a band buddy of sorts. I'm super supportive and I'd love to root ya on! Been feeling a little lonely in this process lately is all.

Anywho, feel free to contact me if your interested in making a local bandster pal :)

Hey everyone I am also for the Bronx.. I was banded November 2008. That was a very exciting day for me. Needless to say the band did not work for me. I am NOT upset a little sad at times because I had set goals and dreams. I am still working with my doctor to see other options. I have not been on this site in a very long time and the only reason why I can back today is I need a little support from my lap band family. I hope everyone is doing good with there journey and hope to be talking to any of you soon….
