Topic: RE: I could use a FRIEND!
Hi Rhonda,
I'm having RNY on 1/10/11 so I know how you feel! I'm excited but very nervous also! I've been doing a lot of reading on the boards and seen so many positive comments on how happy people are now. That is what I am trying to focus on. I don't have any great advice to offer as I have not had surgery yet but if you need support, let me know!
Hope you have a great new year!

I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN THE PENPAL GROUP TOO.
I REALLY NEED SOME ENCOURAGING WORDS.

She sees it as me "risking my life to get skinny".... but I don't even care about getting skinny (though it would be nice to be thin again) I care more about being healthy and being able to play with my daughter and keep up with her! I think it was really just a lot of jealousy because she said she had tried to get the lap band at one point but "wasn't fat enough" to get it done. The thing is she's been losing weight on her own and has lost over 50 pounds since last January, so I don't understand what her issue is. Because I will lose more weight? I don't know.
I don't think you're dumb for not telling friends and family and letting them think you did it on your own. That's how my mom and I were going to do it, but then we changed our minds and decided to announce it. :) Thanks for responding back to my post.

Don't worry about losing that friend. How can she just stop being your friend. When your doing this for your health to save your life? So since you lost that friend you have just gained one. I'll be your friend. See unlike you I haven't announced it to my family or friends. I kinda want to keep it a secret. I guess I want people to think that I did it all by myself. Am I dum for that?

Hi There, Not sure if you got my email. My email address is [email protected]
Hope all is well. Have you been to the doctors to talk about your weight loss? From the experience of my brother in law who had the lap band a year ago September, your weightloss seems a bit slow.
What are you eating? Do you have a set "go to" food?

Hello. I'm having a RNY revision on 12/27/10. I am seeking support persons who either have had or will be having this procedure. We can encourage and support one another so that we can achieve maximum success. I live in Ohio.
Topic: VGS scheduled 12/30/10 would like buddies on this adventure??
My name is Marjery. I live in Fargo ND with my husband, 3 kids and 3 cats. I have a variety of interests. I am friendly, witty, loyal, compassionate, honest, easy to talk to, non-judgemental.
I would really like to find a few friends on here. I really hope after the holidays I have a few messages in my inbox that aren't african princesses in hiding and if I could kindly share my bank info with them they will gladly share their quadrillion dollars with me.
Kindest Regards,
Your future friend for life!
