Looking for buddy

Hello all.. I am new to all of this and started the process of paper work, insurance, blah blah no date set yet. I am 27, 379lbs and totally depressed with a serious food addiction.

Husband is boarder line supportive and I don't have friends who understand in real life. Please contact

Me if you are open to becoming weight loss buddies:)

    I'm 24, HW 280, CW 270, 5'5''. Waiting for insurance approval, hopefully sleeved by end of April, initial consult was in September.

    Recommend the group Sassy Sleevers on Facebook, lot of good people on there and lots of support.

    I am in the same boat as you! so far I have completed the seminar, first appointment with the surgeon, now on Monday I have my first nutritionist appt, and pre op testing sometime soon(waiting for a call back) I am 261 lbs, 22 years old and I'm looking forward to this procedure! I am very nervous about everything, but I'm taking it day by day. I'm here if you ever want to talk!
