Seeking Mentor/buddy For Texting Pref That Was Over 300 Lbs

I am 345-350 lbs ish and I see a lot of people have gotten the sleeve that were 300 lbs or less. I do not invalidate them or think any less of them, but I just want someone from around the same standpoint as me that would know what I am going through. I am 5'6". I just want someone that won't mind texting with me and answering questions and chatting with me and gaining friendship. I do not mind female or male. Maybe even one of each to have different perspectives. I'm not picky other than to have someone who knows what it is like from my weight stand-point. I hope this doesn't sound selfish or rude!

If it's something that makes a difference to you, my phone plan is through Verizon so it is free if you have a texting plan. I think if you don't then it still costs you unless you have a texting plan/unlimited plan.

I'd love to talk to anybody. My request is not strict, it is just that I would like to talk to at least 1 person that has the weight in common but it's not really all that important :D I'd love to talk to anybody, I love to text and work from home so I have time whenever and can also lend a support for someone else even though I am really far away from my surgery (I think).

Hi I'm over 400lbs and feel the same way as far as having read about other sleevers under 300lbs. So I'd really like to chat with someone like me. Now you're much smaller than me so I don't know if you'd still like to chat. I'm scheduled to get the surgery on June 25. I'm from MI. I just would like to talk to someone that is going through the same process. So let me know if you'd like to chat.Hope to hear from you.
