Hello, I am 32 and single with no children. I just received my approval and am awaiting the call from my surgeon for my surgery date. I am excited, but admit that it has been an adjustment. Many people that I have told are supportive, however I have encountered many that are not, including some of the medical professionals I see. All in all I am hyped about my fresh start. Looking forward to chatting with you.

We"ll do great, don't listen to any negative people and try to surround yourself with positive support. I love my band and am excited to lose weight. I'm down 22 in 2 months.

Hi all

I'm Natalie, 35, single with no kids. I'm British - living in Surrey (just outside London). I was banded on 21st Jan and all is going well so far.

Hi all

I'm Jennifer, 37 and with no kids. I'm in Houston and spend most of my time at work, working in the yard and with my animals (dogs & cats). I really dont have the desire to get married or have kids - yet - and I dont know if I ever will. Life is going great right now and I have a fantastic, supportive family, great friends and the perfect job.

I was banded on 1/22 and Im not having any complications or pain. I've really changed my eating habits and now Im exercising too. I know this was the perfect choice for me and Im glad I did it!

Nice to meet everyone here! :wink:

Hey Lisa,

I am 31, single, no kids, and I feel the same way about looking for single no kids friends. Lol I love my friends with kids and love kids and want them soon, but I understand completly.

I just got banded 02/24/09 and have lost 10 lb so far, I wish I would have lost more. It's been difficult journey to get here and I'm trying to be patient with it. I have not had my fill yet, so maybe after that I will see a difference. What do you think?:tt1:
