Hi all-

I am Sched for surgery on July 11th. I would love to find either an online mentor or someone in-person in the area. There is a local monthly support group in my town but it is overwhelmingly ppl exploring WLS and very few have had surgery.

Anyone out there?

Hi

I am from the south shore. Welcome to LBT.

You will learn a wicked lot here. I'd be glad to offer any advice I can.

I had mine @ Brockton Hospital. No complications. Happy with my doctor and follow up care.

Where are you in Western MA? I'm in FL now, but grew up in Enfield CT and Springfield MA. Went to college at Westfield State. I'd be happy to be a WL buddy. As I was banded only a month ago, not sure a mentor would be the best title :-)

I'm in greenfield - are we connected on MFP? I get confused with all the screen names

I'm not sure, I think on MFP I'm shellywolson, but I've been using My Net Diary lately instead. I found that MFP wouldn't let me change the Protein and carb levels to my own choices. It let me do it, but then 2 days later it would revert back to what the app wanted me to eat. Drove me a little crazy :-/ So far I like it a lot better. It was 9.99 for the iPad app, but worth it to me.

I've never really been to Greenfield, but I'm sure I drove through on my way to VT many times (when I was there VT drinking age was 18 :-) )

Yep, it is right at the RT91 and rt2 intersection.

Hi I had my surgery in June 2012 I live in western mass and have been to a support group at mercy hospital every other tues but have class so haven't gone in a while....getting back on track and doing well if you want to talk or have questions private message me--good luck
