Hello, I am 32 and single with no children. I just received my approval and am awaiting the call from my surgeon for my surgery date. I am excited, but admit that it has been an adjustment. Many people that I have told are supportive, however I have encountered many that are not, including some of the medical professionals I see. All in all I am hyped about my fresh start. Looking forward to chatting with you.

We"ll do great, don't listen to any negative people and try to surround yourself with positive support. I love my band and am excited to lose weight. I'm down 22 in 2 months.

Hi all

I'm Jennifer, 37 and with no kids. I'm in Houston and spend most of my time at work, working in the yard and with my animals (dogs & cats). I really dont have the desire to get married or have kids - yet - and I dont know if I ever will. Life is going great right now and I have a fantastic, supportive family, great friends and the perfect job.

I was banded on 1/22 and Im not having any complications or pain. I've really changed my eating habits and now Im exercising too. I know this was the perfect choice for me and Im glad I did it!

Nice to meet everyone here! :wink:

Not that I don't love my parent people out there---I really do--I think being a parent alone shows great character and admirable strength--I'm just hoping to find some buddies around my age that I can share some single, no children having lap band experiences with...If you are out there, please reply, I would love to hear from you! Let me introduce myself--my name is Lisa, Latina,California, teacher, single, great friends and family, love life and enchiladas...a little too much of the latter, which is how I ended up here on this lovely supportive website. Everyone is so wonderful in this place--informative, friendly, caring...I don't know if it's because of all the pain meds all post op patients are on, but I don't care, I appreciate you all. My surgery is Nov. 18th and I'm already digging out my slutty clothes from my slimmer days--it is truly an exciting time for me. If you are interested in being a best bud, let me know!

Hey Lisa,

I am 31, single, no kids, and I feel the same way about looking for single no kids friends. Lol I love my friends with kids and love kids and want them soon, but I understand completly.

I just got banded 02/24/09 and have lost 10 lb so far, I wish I would have lost more. It's been difficult journey to get here and I'm trying to be patient with it. I have not had my fill yet, so maybe after that I will see a difference. What do you think?:tt1:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
