ldjstonband 27 Posted June 19, 2012 I want a budd : ( I have a co worker with the gastric bypass but its just not the same. I also know a younger girl with the band but she isn't even following the rules and is totally immature! I am 330 lbs 29 years old with 2 kids and 2 step kids. Im married with a wonderful husband but he also is clueless and eats me out of house and home. I need someone or more to share my journey with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathie52 31 Posted June 23, 2012 Hi Jessica! I am also from Houston and will be having my op on July 6th. How was Dr Hollis? I have a fear of the gas (general anesthesia) they give you. Can you ease my mind a bit? Do you remember? Welcome to the site! I am sure you will find all the support you need here. THESE are GREAT people here and I have never been on any site so supportive and caring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
