Hi all!

I'm looking for some UK-based friends, but other bases are fine too!

A little about me:
I am pre-surgery, 23 years old, and based in the East of England.
I love music, gaming and animals. My favourite bands are Muse, Radiohead, Placebo and My Chemical Romance. As for gaming I'm a PC gamer and it is my main hobby. I have plenty of pets, and I love them all dearly. I have chronic pain from a variety of conditions but my PCOS, IBS, Fibro and Hypermobility are the main ones. I'm studying to be a midwife but I'm currently on a gap year due to mental health and the pandemic.

I don't mind having friends younger or older than me, pre-surgery, post-surgery or just losing/maintaining weight. Anything is fine by me! Just people to related with, discuss weight loss and recipies and all the other nice things.

I have no friends who understand what I'm going through, and I know friends and connections are important for support during these difficult times.

Let's make some friends! ?

Hi Kirsten! I'm in Ireland, 2.5 weeks post sleeve and getting on very well now. First couple of weeks I had some pain and a lot of hunger but both are subsiding thankfully. There are loads of lovely, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable people on this forum so jump right in!

Hi there!

Thanks so much for replying. I'm glad to hear your surgery went well and you're having a steady recovery. Good luck for the rest of your journey!

I have seen a few lovely people and I would love to chat outside of this forum! It seems slightly impersonal but it's a good start on finding like minded people.

I’m in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Had surgery in Dec 2016. Lowest weight about 8 stone currently hover around 10 - would like to go back to 9.5 but keep succumbing to carb craving/sugar addiction. Overall ok though as just keep going back to what works…

nice to see some uk posts. Early on Id have loved to have known more uk people.

good luck in your journeys …
