Looking for friends esp snail mail penpals

Hi everyone.  My name is Carol.  I just turned 40 and I am beginning my journey to WLS.  I am looking for friends and also snail mail penpals.   I think we all need support thru our journey. I live in a small town in northern Florida.  We moved here 2 1/2 years ago.  I really do not have many friends here.  I am a stay at home mom to our 2 youngest daughters.  Anna is 2 and Miranda will be 1 on March 27th.  I adopted my 20 yr old stepdaughter and she has a gorgeous 7 mo old son.   We also have an adopted 27 yr old who has 2 boys that are 2 and 3 and another due in April.   I have many interests.  I love penpals, reading, my dogs, collecting postcards, windchimes, coins, and many other things.  I enjoy fishing, crafts and just relaxing.   I am in the middle of getting approval.  At first I was looking into lapband but after talking to my surgeon I am leaning towards RNY.  I am currently around 275.   I have my barium swallow on March 27th and my psy eval on April 10th.  Once I get those done I will wait for approval. I hope to hear from someone. Carol

Hi, I am a bit younger than you but would like to have a pen pal.... I am 23 years old and I had my surgery 5 days before my 22nd birthday.... I am 7 months post op and I am down 106 lbs. so far.... I am looking forward to having a baby sometime in the near future it was one of the main reasons I went through with having the surgery as well as all of the health issues I wanted to prevent being as I didnt have any of them at the time of my surgery but I was on the way to developing them.... I have PCOS and I would be unable to have a child if I didnt lose the weight n I tried everything out there to do that and my GYNO told me that she thought I should have to surgery especially at my age because it would lessen my symptoms and the sooner I did that the better it would be for me so that is what finally made me decide to do it.... my boyfriend was extremely supportive and my family was behind me even though they didnt really want me to do it they still were there for me..... I dont know if your interested in talking to me bec of my age but if you are please send me a message..... I wish you all the best....
