Hi Beth- I'd love to help you along on your journey and be whatever support you needed..Questions right now? Or concerns? You can send me a pM if you like and we could do this by email or IM.

Hi,

I am getting banded on Oct. 22 and would love to be your buddy. I may not be much help, as I am new to this too, but we can let each other know what works or doesn't work for them.

I am in SC, mother of 4, who is looking forward to playing more and working less.

Hi Tonya!

Sounds great to me your getting banded a week before me. It would be great to go through our journey together. My home e-mail address is bethmmassengale@gmail.com. So we can get to know each other.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Beth

Hey Beth,

ME TOO.. My band date is the 29th and have a whole whirl wind of emotions.

Right now I am reading the book "WLS with the adjustable gastric band" by Dr. Robert Sewell.

It has really provided some good background and prep information..

I would love to be your buddy and share notes, pains, and hopefully no gains..

All my best

Barbara

Hi Barbara,

Your getting banded the same day as I am. I think the more support we have the better we can do. Maybe we three can create our own support system. It would be great to go through our journey together. My home e-mail address is bethmmassengale@gmail.com. So we can get to know each other.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Beth
