Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Need a single mom buddy

I am a 42 single mom. I teach in North Alabama. I have been overweight my whole life. At 266 I know I am pushing the envelope health wise, so LB is the way to go! I am more of a helper than a person who asks for help, so a buddy on here would be most appreciative.

My name is Nicole. I am 22 and the single mother of a 2 1/2 year old boy. I am a nurse in IL. I am just now starting the process and would also like a buddy.

Hi Nicole, I will definitly be your buddy, but I know we need someone else that has already been banded for a while to ask questions. I have went through many of the hoops as of right now. Just waiting on surgery date.

Hi Single mom, just jump right in to the "I'm here to help thread" Everyone is so good helping each other. Read the posts and ask away. We all love to have people join us. Janet started the thread and Apples is great but they all can help.

Hi I am a single mom also of two children ages 11 and 3. I've had the band for 2 months and would like to have a buddy also. So far i've lost 36 pounds and I had my first fill of 5ccs yesterday. I would love to have someone to buddy with.
