honeydue29 38 Posted August 24, 2012 I'll start with a little info about me. I'm 29 and a mother to 4 girls. My husband is in the military so we have been traveling a lot so it's hard to make friends who understands me when it comes to having surgery. I decided to have surgery to get healthy for me and my family. Last month my mother passed away from a heart attack/ heart disease which no one knew about. It was so sudden and became a wake up call for me..... So here I am going through the process to have surgery after years and years of trying to lose weight. I hope this will be a place for great support though out my journey. 1 berniec reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LosingItForMe2011 320 Posted August 24, 2012 Welcome honeydue! You're love it here and will find plenty of information. Poke around the boards and you'll get lots of it but, please always remember to follow your own surgeon/bariatric centers rules and suggestions and call them if you have questions and concerns first. We help each other here as best we can but, we're only answering from our own experiences and surgeon/bariatric center rules. Good luck on your journey! 1 FayeJ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naterbug 7 Posted August 26, 2012 I haven't had surgery yet but I love this place. The way I work I can't attend Support Groups in my area so I come here and read and read and read and take a gaziliion notes. The people here are awesome and so supportive. I have never ever seen anyone ridiculed for any type of question or concern. I am single and work 3 jobs and basically have no friends ....since I have no time for a social life. You can do it... and I am so sorry about your Mother. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
