Today 07:40 PM Threads: 5,555 | Posts: 85,989 |  | 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. | Threads: 267 | Posts: 3,195 |  | Provide or receive support before or after your LAP-BAND® procedure with others like you in your country or state. |
