I'm 34 in Michigan...and have been wildly successful with my lapband. My goal was about 100lb loss...I'm close to that goal in one year. I went from lazy overweight guy to a gym rat, running 5ks almost weekly and currently training for a half marathon in the fall. I believe I fully understand the band and I'm a good tough motivator. I recently decided it was time to give back to the site that made me feel good when I was scared in the beginning. Must be serious about improving your life!

I WOULD LOVE TO PICK YOUR BAND BRAIN AND WOULD LOVE YOU AS A MENTOR MY E ADDY IS topcare4all@gmail.com

Hey Brian! Congrats on your success! I really need a mentor! I am really struggling I can't seem to get on track! I am really screwing up. I have good intentions in the morning then I screw my day up I really want to get this! I don't know what your schedule is I'm pretty flexible. I live in New york. I would be delighted if you could take me on. I really need a mentor. I hope you can help me. I want to change but I need help. Thanks

Hello Brian, I was happy to read your post. I am looking for a mentor outside the clinical setting. I have tried traditional support groups and found I left them more discouraged than when I came. My experience with the Lap Band thus far is either vomiting everything I eat or not feeling any difference than before surgery. I am looking for someone who can direct me, from experience, to know when I am feeling how the band was intended and to help me create a plan that works for me and not the cookie cutter plans I have been given so far. I am ready and willing to do my part, I just need to get a little experienced advice and hone my tools. If you think this is something you can help with I would love to hear from you.
