Hi my name is Jessie, I am a 27 yr old female from Minnesota. I am an occupational therapy assistant but presently also in school to become an occupational therapist. I am looking for a mentor as I am just starting the process to get banded. I had my first consultation with the surgeon this week and have started to schedule all my appointments for many of the months ahead. I currently weigh around 275 and at my highest I was 292 and my goal is to get down to 150 but that goal may change once I meet with the surgeon. I am ready to get my life back on track and started up again, from reading these forums it is a life changing experience and it is not a walk in the park. I would love to find someone to be a mentor to me through this process. In the future I will look to meet buddies but for right now I would prefer someone willing to be a mentor.

If you are interested or having any questions for me please let me know
