I Would Like A Mentor

Hi everyone

My name is Ashley and my sugery date is June 4th, I'd love to be able to have a mentor in the Long Island area or even in one of the five boroughs. I will be having the band with the gastric plication. Please if someone could respond back that would be wonderful. Thanks and good luck to all!!

    If you're looking for a local mentor, you could try posting this question in the NY group: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/forum/46-new-york-local-lap-band-support/

    You also might be able to find a local mentor at your surgeon's support group meetings.

    Good luck with your surgery!

    Thanks. I looked in the NY threads but haven't really found anything. Have you had surgery done?

    You may have to post your own thread in the NY group.

    Yes, I've had Lap-Band surgery. I was banded in September 2007 and lost 100% of my excess weight. But I'm located in Tennessee, not NY!
