Looking for a Buddy :)



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I'm looking for a buddy or buddies in Florida. I live in Brooksville, which is 30 miles North of Tampa, but do travel to Tampa daily for work. I also have season passes to Disney so travel to Orlando a few times a year. I haven't met many other bansters in the area. There are a few nice ladies that go to my surgeons monthly support group but thats about all the face time I get with other bandsters. I would love to be in touch with some locals who are going through this as well. ^_^

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
