Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Approaching 30, newly banded and need a motivator!

I have fantastic support with my boyfriend, family, friends and colleagues...but I want to be able to chat with someone who's been through it. I was banded January 7, 2010 and use Facebook/Yahoo messenger a lot...and I'm a textaholic! I'm 29 years old (will be 30 in August) and need a buddy who is technologically addicted like me! My stats are listed below as far as weight loss...anyone out there for me?

Even though I'm twice your age I use my blackberry, Yahoo IM and am on line allmost 24/7...and I'm a successful bandster with almost 6 years of experience. I'd be glad to help!

Hi, I have been banded for a little over 6 months and am down 80lbs as of this point.... I know that there are plenty others out there that have a more "veteran" status than me-- but I will be more than happy to help you in your journey-- it is amazing how different your life can change in 6 months.... I just turned 33, was 242 pounds and I am 5'3". During the week I am on yahoo IM and I always have my Iphone with me-- so if I can help I would be more than happy too. Good luck-- and enjoy the experience!:thumbdown:
