I am a 57 yr old widow, I live with my son & daughter in law in north central Arlington (15 minutes from Cowboy Stadium). I know they will do their best at being supportive (they've already been very supportive)but they are after all 30+yrs younger than me. I don't really have any local friends or other family, so am kinda alone in all this. Anyone out there want/need a support friend, for phone, email, even to get out for an ice tea in the lovely Texas spring weather? I am NOT looking for romance, I AM looking for friends female or male, who understand what I am going thru. I expect to be banded within the next 18 - 30 days and I am getting very nervous about surgery. I've always looked at surgery as something unnatural even though I've had several, I'm always grateful not to mention amazed that I woke up! lol

If you have an unsupportive spouse/family or you're on your own, maybe we could be there for each other.

Hope I hear from people in my area.
