IN NEED OF A BUDDY/MENTOR IN INDIANA!!

[ShirleyJ84 19]

Hello and first of all thank you for clicking on my posting. I know that there is a lot of them out there and taking the time to read mine is greatly appreciated.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am currently 28 year old female. I am divorced but I am blessed to have that special someone in my life for the past two years. I do have a 10 year old daughter that my world revolves around. I am currently living in Lafayette, Indiana and have for the past almost seven years and I work in the special education classroom at my local high school.

Now for the “fun” stuff: I currently weigh 344 pounds… Yeah, I do not like that number either but that is what it is… When I first started seeing my endocrinologist over a year ago I was at 350 then after being prescribed phentermine I was able to get down to 310. But unfortunately, depression once again set in and once I went back on antidepressants I had to go off of the phen… So that is why I am back up to the 344…

I am hoping that I will be able to get back down to where I was 10 years ago (which was still high but it is still almost 200 less than what I am at now…

Hopefully this helps with making your decision to buddy up with me and be my guide during this scary process…

Thank you for looking!

Shirley

Hi just wanted to say you can do it.

Hi, welcome to the site. I have found so much great information, the good and the band. The key is to do your research and make sure you are comfortable with your decision. I had surgery in Indianapolis 5/21/12. It was the best decisions I ever made for myself. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I have been looking into being banded for several years now and I feel that now is the best time to do it. I would have had it done last year except I was misinformed by someone at my insurance agency telling me I wasn't covered when it is.

Well, I can't live in the past, only the present and look towards the future
