I would love to have a friend along for my banded journey I am a 44year old female and would like someone at least my age or older help me along the way (preferably female also, my husband would freak if I was making new male friends on the Internet lol I'm sure you understand). Am just 2 weeks post op and already think I'm doing this wrong

this whole forum is your friend/buddy.......and why on earth would you think you are doing something wrong?

Since my surgery 2 weeks ago I have only lost 4 pounds I hear everyone telling of success a lot of weight loss but 4 pounds that is nothing

You are doing great. A lot of people gain during the healing process. just be patient let your body heal and maybe do not weigh yourself too much right now. Carolina is right weve got your back.

Thank you...that makes me feel optimistic
