Hi there, I'm Erin and I live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan. I am 31 years old, single and have two dogs...no children no plans for children.

I am going to be banded one week from tomorrow. Tonight is my meeting with my doctor to go over pre-admission testing and get final approval. Of course, I keep expecting something to happen to postpone this surgery.

I could really use a friend to talk to as I go through this...

My name is Jeannie, live in the Hudson Valley, am 49 and was banded almost 2 years ago.No regrets, have done well...just in a rut with 20-30 more pounds to lose. Need support, no lapband support groups that meet live. Still finding changing eating habits like eating slow tough, which makes a huge difference with the band! Hang in there with those new bands, the first few weeks are tough but worth it!

Hey Erin!

My name is Amber and I'm 29 years old and just going through the process to be banded. All my tests are scheduled and just waiting to be performed. I'm hoping to be banded in April. But i'd love a mentor/buddy also! u can contact me here or email me at worreamb@aol.com and maybe we could connect on FB. I'd like to know how you're progressing.
