I was banded one week ago and I am hoping to find a buddy that I can discuss daily issues with. I have lots of questions I see buddies are in great demand and am hoping someone could spare some time to share with me. I have lost 26 lbs (14 pre op, 12 post op).

jayc... For some reason I came to this site today. Never have before. Decided that maybe I needed some inspiration and motivation myself. I read your post and for some reason I felt we could be a good match. I was banded 9/05/06 and have lost quite slowly but have finally got to, or should I say close to goal. Right now, I feel like I have some struggles myself. But maybe we could encourage and inspire each other. I know that you probably would like a person who has it all together, but if you would like to chat let me know. I won't be offended if you would like someone who has no issues and figured this whole thing out. I will be honest, I haven't. But I have been through alot and think I could offer some helpful advise. Let me know. Laurie

I am also available for either of you I have had some good resultes but not without the will of God and determination to Just do it. step2els@aol.com
