The closest that I live to a support group is over 100 miles away. There is nobody around where I live (that I know of) that has had the lapband. There are days where I wish I had someone to talk to, someone that knows exactly what I am going through and will go through in the months and years ahead. I have my parents, my friends (most of which have no weight problems what so ever), and my husband that have been there for me since I had my band placed, but as much as they try, they just don't understand the things I am going through.

So, I was thinking. Most people that own a cell have to watch to make sure they don't go over their minutes but have free text. I am this way. I can text all day long and never have to worry about going over any minutes or being charged after a certain amount of text messages sent or recieved. If anyone out there would like to be my text buddy just let me know and I will shoot you a private message with my cell number and we can chat about what all is going on.

I think this would be a good thing for anyone that needs to talk one day just to vent or whatever.

I think that is an EXCELLENT idea!!! I'd definitely be up for it!
