Need a buddy

Hey everyone, looking for a buddy who is around my age. I'm 26 and will be 27 in October.

Just got banded and I don't mind if you are a new bandster or not, just want someone who I can email on a regular basis who understands some of this because no one in my life has any understanding of what I'm going through.

Hey!

I'm 18 f nj. Going to be 19 in August. Surgery 12/21/10!

I may be a bit young for a buddy for you but I would love to have someone to talk to. The more the merrier!

Send me a private message if you wanna chat/email!

You can feel free to message me... both of you. I don't really have anyone to talk to other than my boyfriend, and I'm sure I'm driving him crazy with my emotions

hey i got banded on 3/10 and i am 26 and will turn 27 on st. patty's day. i am also in desperate need of a buddy if you want to pm me to get my email address. :thumbup:

hello everyone!

I'm 23 and just a few months into being banded. If you would like to chat about being banded (or hell even about life in general) don't be afraid to message me!

Hey everyone! I would love to have any buddies! I was banded 3/15, and have had a few minor problems, like over fill, being completely unfilled, being refilled, having to have another (slight) unfill. But all in all, it's going great!

hi everyone, I'd love to be buddies with anyone! I haven't been banded yet, but getting closer and closer. I'm 26, will be 27 in Oct and I'm new to LBT. I think it would be great to have someone to chat with. Feel free to message me!

An email support buddy is a great idea! I was banded on June 28th and I'm 24. Please anyone feel free to message me. I only have a milion and one questions and comments myself :thumbup:

Hey, 27 yr old almost 28. Haven't been banded yet but I'm on my way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Going through my insurance required 6 month physician supervised diet right now. I check in to this site frequently and have facebook so new friends are welcome.

I am an old woman of 34....LOL and have been banded since March 2009....but I am more than happy to be a buddy and help out anyone who needs it! I have some friends that recently had surgery and it helped them to be able to bounce things off of me....to make sure they were feeling "normal" things.

Good luck to all of you!!!

Hey I'm starting the process just got my packet and I'm working on getting banded by 02/11. I dont mind having a budy who understands what I'm going through. Any way I'm 27 will be 28 in Dec...

Hi all

I was banded on July 1st and i would love to get a buddy as well. I feel so alone in this whole process because unlike most of you my family members arent around. Any one interested please send me a PM so i can give you my email address.

If any of you want to email me that haven't already, or if you have and we lost touch, please PM me and I will give you my email or you can give me yours. Send me your first name so I know who you are if we already have met, and we can be buddies because I totally need all the support I can get.

Blessings to all!

Hello everybody. I would like a buddy to talk too. I can share a lot on my end too. I was 18 when banded and it has been five years. I have been through almost everything possible when dealing with the band so Im here to help. Msg me and we can talk.
