Hello,
I'm looking for a buddy/mentor to help me navigate through this process. I'm currently 4 years post op and I've only lost 50 pounds. I've been adjusted many times however my weight loss has stalled. I'm a 34 year old married male with one son and another on the way. I realize the band is a "round peg" and I'm the "square hole." I need help hammering in the peg.
After my surgery the follow up by my surgical team was almost nonexistent. I received no meal planning guides nor any one on one consults so I have not changed my eating habits or eating behavior. I'm afraid of failing.
I'm looking for someone who can provide direction and encouragement.
Thanks,
Dan
