Getting Banded & Looking For A Friend :)

Hi all,

My name is Mandy and I am 20 years old and am getting Lapband in the next month (surgery date TBD). I am really looking forward to starting this new journey and becoming and ever better me! I would love to find someone to talk to about all the different aspects of this journey since I don't know many people who can relate! I have facebook, twitter and am thinking of starting a blog! I look forward to hearing from you all :)

Hi Mandy!, used to have a gf growing up named Mandy.Welcome. Ive been lurking till recently, when I decided to join some conversations. I dont have a surgery date yet. I dont even see the surgeon till tomorrow. Im nervous. I quit smokin for this, and Ive been cheating a bit. AHHHHHHH! The nerves! Welcome again, it really IS ABOUT YOU! You will do great. Kinda young for such a drastic procedure might I add. I had no problem losing weight at your age. I hit menopause, and it all paused. cept weight . IT GAINED AND WONT STOP! AHHH! AGIN!!!
