Need a friend that knows what I'm going through

Hello everyone, well its been a long year. I started the program last October 2007 and I finally have a date October 7,2008. The thing that has me so upset is in the begging I had a very good support group. Everyone around me was very supportive. They always were asking questions about what was going on and how things were. That ended about 5 months ago. Now when ever I bring anything up about having lab band they don’t really want to hear about it. I wish I knew some one that lived around here that has had lap band or is going to have it done cause I would really like to have someone to talk to about it. Especially cause my surgery is coming up and I’m getting nervous now and my friends don’t understand what I’m going through. So if there is anyone out there and wants to talk that would be great.

Brandi (I live near Amherst Ma)

I dont live near you, but wanted to add support.  It is a tough road at times, and it can be lonely. 

Hang in there.   Use the boards.  Does the hospital you are going to have support groups? 
We are here for you.

I have been so blessed that my mother is going through this too.  She has medicare as her primary so she has to do the 6 months diet.  Maybe if you tell someone how you feel they would understand and be more supportive?

Do they have a lapband support group at the hospital you are having wls? This might be a place to meet other lapbanders.

hi Brandi,

it's too bad that this forum is mostly RNY patients. Have you tried the lap band forum on this site? There are also other forums:

www.lapbandtalk.com
www.lapbandforum.com

Perhaps you would get more of what you are looking for at those sites, not that we want you to leave.

good luck,

Jayne
