I am almost six months post op and down 75 lbs. I still have a long way to go and I am finding myself getting discouraged and loosing myself in this process. I would love to have a buddy who lives close but am willing to work with anyone. I am 26 and would prefer someone within my age group who can relate.

Thanks

There is a bariatric support group that meets at South Miami Hospital each month on the forth Thursday of the month. (Check SMH website) I have been going to it since before my surgery. Anyone can attend. Very open and lots of great support.

I am familiar with these I actually had my surgery done at South Miami so I do get the monthly newsletter about the meetings. I guess I thought I could do it alone and was a little apprehensive about attending them. I guess I should check it out this month. Thanks.

Hello to you both. I'm out near Weston and a little older but young in spirit. A mother of 2 young kids (13 and 9). I'm suppose to have my surgery done on August 10th. Could use a buddy or two. Especially when needing someone to chat, vent or get encouragement from.

Hello ladies, my name is Linda. I am also looking for a buddy. I am in the Coconut Creek area. I am awaiting my insurance approval and the surgery date. I got all my pre op stuff done. I am married, 35 (36 on Thursday ???? ) I have 3 kids, ages 15,9,&7.

Hi Ladies! I am now 10 months post op and down 91lbs. I am 26 married with no children but hope to have one on the way within the next year. Please feel free to message me anytime even at this point I need all the motivation and encouragement possible. It is a very long journey but as long as you have support you will overcome all obstacles.
