Need a Buddy!

Hi! I am in need of a buddy!

Up until yesterday, I thought I was going to go through LapBand.... however, I am thinking I'd rather have the sleeve done instead.

I am in the final stages of everything that needs to be done before submitting to insurance for pre-approval. And, looking towards a December surgery.

I'd love to have someone to talk about this! I know NO ONE who has been sleeved. But, a few people who are Bandsters (including my mom!)

I'd be open to emailing, FB, IM and texting! I'm pretty open to talking to just about anyone! But, I would like at least ONE buddy who is around my age, 23!!

thanks for reading

:)

Hi Mrs, I'd love to be a buddy. I'm in Phoenix, Az. and a 27 year old stay at home Mom. I'm not sleeved yet, but I'm hoping for a Dec. date as well! As of right now I just need my psych eval and I should be set to submit for approval. Good luck to you, the sleeve is a great choice! I love Facebooking, how can I find you on there?

What hospital are you going through? I am going through GBMC
