Hi -

I was banded on may 31, 2011. I have a Realize Band (I don't know if that matters). I started at 320 lbs on the day of surgery (also my high weight). I have lost 20 lbs in the past 3 weeks. I would like to get to around 160. This is the highest weight I could be at and be in the "normal" BMI category.

Things are going well- I just started solid foods this weekend . I'm scheduled for my first fill on Weds.

I am a professional working mother of 3 small kids (ages 6, 4, and almost 2). My husband is very supportive and is a stay-at-home-day. We live in Asbury Park, NJ.

I think it would help me tremendously to have a buddy - especially one who lived nearby, but not necessarily. I have TONS of questions, worries, wonders, etc.

Please contact me if you think you'd like to mentor me. Thanks in advance!!

peace, nora

congrats on making the first step !!! its def the most important.
