I know being single sucks. Unfortunately, a lot of guys are dumb! So yes, they are freaked by your height. Don't let it bring you down though, you will find the right guy who loves that you can reach the top of the cabinet for him :0) Take some time for you and make yourself happy, before you know it you will wish you had more time to yourself!

Thanks for the support! I will continue to post and share my failures and all progress I make with everyone. I am so glad to have had my dr reccomend this site, nothing like chatting with those feeling what you are going through

My name is Kari and I was banded November 3, 2006. It depresses me to realize it has been two years already. I had some major infection complications after surgery and my recovery was slowed by about 3 months. I have lost around 30 pounds. I have been stuck in a rutt emotionally, financially, etc. I have switched jobs since my surgery and my current employer does not cover any type of weight loss programs or surgeries. Therefore, no previous surgeries either. I am frustrated beyond belief, but I think it is just time to seek counseling. I am one of those cases that thought I had the mind set for the long haul and turns out I wasn't there. I am very glad I went through with everything, I just wish things would have worked out differently. I am still young enough that I have plenty of time to turn things around. I just need to own up and quit blaming my life in general. Good luck to everyone, I hope your story goes better than mine thus far! :rolleyes2:
