Hi everyone!! I would love a buddy (or 5 LOL) to help get through this journey. I am pre-op, tentatively getting sleeved in July/August. I'm in the Chicago area, am in my early thirties, married with two children. My friends say I'm pretty funny and I consider myself a great listener.

I'd love someone local, but I'm at a computer all day and live on my phone so that's not a big deal. We can totally text, email, etc. If possible, I'd love for the person to have lost or need to lose 150+ pounds just because I'd like them to relate on that level. If you're just starting off, great! We can motivate each other! :-)

Thanks!
