Lap Band Buddies / Mentors (NEW!) A buddy/mentoring relationship pairs a successful and experienced LBT member with a novice and/or struggling LBT member. The purpose is to support one another as each person works through the physical, emotional, and spiritual components involved in weight loss. The goal is to get to a healthy weight and stay there. This is a win-win relationship as the successful LBT member is able to reaffirm his/her weight loss and the novice or struggling LBT member is supported in building the confidence and motivation necessary to achieve his/her desired goals.

NJ Lapbander in Need of a Mentor

Hi I'm new here. I was banded on Oct. 23, 2009. So far I'm doing great but would like someone to hold my hand and help me walk through this journey. Once and awhile I would love to bend your ear about things. I'm a bit nervous about walking the path but have no intetions of looking back until I get further to the end. And then when I DO look back it's just to pat myself on the back and see how far I have gone to get where I am.

Seems like you are well on your way. I am just beginning the process but I can hardly wait until I get my band. You should be very proud of yourself. 32 lbs in less than a month. YOu are my hero!

Re: NJ Lapbander in Need of a Mentor

Actually it's just about a month. I was 305 in September. But thank you very much. :) And I do wish you all the luck in the world. If you should have any questions along the way, don't hesitate to ask.
