I have only told my husband and mother and very few close friends about my surgery.

I don't feel like I can really talk to anyone in depth about all of this excerpt for my husband who has been my Rock during all of this

I wish i has a group of gal-pals that i could bond with, either one line or in my area.

I basically don't have any real friends of my OWN (you know, friends that are more my friends than my husband's)

It's really hard because i want to relate to people around me and make a support system.

BariNation is a community for WLS patients that I have really enjoyed. They have support groups, meet up, forums, and other resources. Its also a paid membership, which helps weed out trolls and ensures a safe, like-minded community.

Is it an app? I couldn't find it

Hi there, welcome ? I know how you feel. My youngest daughter caught me on Google searching for “woman in her 40’s with no friends.” I have acquaintances, but the friends in our lives are more my husband’s than mine. So I get it. That’s why I started coming here. I feel like this is a forum where you can vent, ask questions and commiserate with people who understand you and this decision. Not everyone agrees with WLS. Everyone here is on your side.

Feel free to jump in, ask questions and make new friends. Especially if there are folks having the procedure around the same time as you. I love chatting with my March 13th buddies Hope you’ll stick around and support us so we can support you!

I sent you a message.
