Hi I am looking for the Band Buddy / Friend .

I am 41 yo with plans of having a surgery February 2011 @ NYU Langone Group by Dr Fielding

Going through all the normal feelings of - scared, excited, scared, exited... and on and on and on.

I need the surgery to stop overeating. Choosing the right food is not my vice. But portion control IS.

I am not married and dont have kids. Pretty easy going person with good sense of humor ( most of big people are - i think it is a self defense mechanism?)

I dont smoke and dont drink. During the pre-surgery seminar doctore mentionned I might start after the surgery to replace food obsession with alcohol. I hope NOT lol.

As you can guess by my nickname - I was 'made' in the USSR. In USA for over 20 years. Live in Woodbridge NJ and very often visit family in Shisheadbay Brooklyn.

So if you are in the area and looking for BBF - let me know.

Sincerely,

Russian BANDit.

Hey I have been band for almost two years. 31 Aug will be two years. I have lost 90 - 95 pounds. According to the charts I am still over weight but my kids keep complaining that the wind will blow me away, so I am maintaining. I would be happy to answer any questions you have!
