Hi Jen,

I am Jenn, 35, mother of 3! I was banded December 29th, 2010 and love the idea of having friends to check in on one another!

I have a daughter 1.5 and my son is 3.5, I'm having a hard time NOT carrying them, I have to keep reminding myself it's only been a week!!! I am feeling great other than the crazy itchness if the scars, how about you?

Hi, we are the same age and I also have two kids--boys! I was banded on 3/18/11. I would be happy to be your friend. I am also looking for friends especially right now....feeling a little bummed and useless. How old are you kids? Mine are 2 and 6.

You would think with all of our online knowledge being in our 30's this site wouldn't be so complex!!!

Thanks! So simple :D

I use an app on my phone called myfitnesspal.com, I wish this site was like that so we could push each other!! They are having this "april springs" competition but I feel like it's cheating to take part, now if it was ALL newly lapbanded people that would be awesome!!!

I can't wait to be able to exercise :D
