Everyone in that thread is in Central Jersey - I really want to find someone in South Jersey. Anybody out there?

I'm looking for a peer - someone who "gets" where I am right now in the process. Oh ... and add to the mix - clinical depression. I've been stuck at the same weight or have gained, so I'd really like to find someone to text (for starters) for some mutual support, as I really don't have the ability or discipline to sit down and READ (God forbid) all of the great info out there on how to bolster yourself up and keep moving in the right direction. If you understand any element of where I am right now (age, location, situation) and feel like we could help each other, please reach out. My name is Pam.

I'll do that - thanks

Hi - I went to HUP - Dr. Schuricht was my surgeon. (Love him). I'm 51, too; and I, too, was the supermodel in the pre-surgical groups! (Lol!). I never felt like a size 2 before, but in the obese world, I wasn't that bad, I guess. I have a congenital heart defect, tho, so I was in CHF and couldn't walk 10 feet and breathe at the same time ... so I was more "sick," if you will, than a lot of heavier people. I had the sleeve surgery
