I'm doing great actually! not quite sure what you mean by "my encounter"? I've been divorced for over 4 years now and I'm loving it!

Yep. Been there done that! And your absolutely right! No need to sit home, life goes on and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I'm having mine on the 17th. I'm excited to start my new and improved life! Good luck with with everything and keep in touch on how it all goes for you! Do you have to do a pre op diet? I don't. A lot of people on here have to do it like a liquid diet and I'm so happy I don't have to. Have you been dating at all since your "newly" single?

Well, it looks like you posted this a ways back, but I figured I'd post and see how things are for you now that its this many months later??? I divorced 4 years ago (separated 5 years ago) from an Army Vet. One thing I can say for sure is that there's definitely light at the end of the tunnel! It's a hard thing to go through for anyone, especially when there are kids involved, but life for me at this point is really great. We were also married for 15 years. It's a long time, but once things calm down I think many would agree that as time passes, you do start a new life. How are things going for you now that you are back with your children? And how about since you've been back on track with your band? Did you meet your goal? I've dated, but find that it is definitely a different experience with kids and all these years later! How about for you? :eek:

Hi! My name is Jen, I am 38 and live in central NJ. I've been divorced for 4 years (with separation- 5 years) and have just dated since then but not found "Mr. Right". I have decided to take a break from dating so I can focus on me & my children. I'm finally scheduled for May 17 (yay!!!) I am very happy with my life and co-parent with my Ex-husband since he moved out 5 years ago. I have a great support system which includes my family and friends. I too look forward to meeting more single bandsters!:wink::eek::thumbup:

I am 38, I am a mom of 4 kids, getting banded on May 17, I am about 5'4, and I live in the central NJ area. Open to a long term relationship. Contact me via private message... :eek::wub::wink:

May 17th here! Just got the call from my Dr.'s office and insurance has approved!!!!:ohmy:
