Ok so I know I am stubborn enough to go it alone since the family and friends I have now are against this idea including my dr. Since she referred me into this bariActric clinic. I am sure I will have a melt down and it's good to know you have a friend who understands what you are going through. I am 44 242.6lb from 273.6lb now 5'4" and looking for a mentor/friend

Miss Avery, I am pretty much feeling alone also. I have made a few contacts on this site. I was banded 6 days ago in Mexico. I live in Canada and opted to travel to have surgery without a long wait list and red tape b.s.

I weigh 212 LBS and am 5ft 4inches. I am returning to work tomorrow and I too could use a buddy. Add me as a friend and we can chat!

Hi everyone!!! I would really like to find a band buddy to help support me if there is anyone out there willing. I am 23 yrs old and 320 pounds...i am having my lapband done on April 29th. I could really use a good support buddy!! I don't have anyone around me that is helping me with my journey..my boyfriend more or less tries to sabatoge my weight loss because he doesn't want me to loose the weight fearing i will leave him...my only true support buddy i had was my mother..she was there for me and kicked my butt when i needed it,but sadly she passed away december 4 of 2010 so now i am all alone on my journey. I would really love to be able to talk with someone who is going through or has gone through the same thing so if there is anyone out there that would like to talk please message me so we could talk! Thank u so much... <3
