I would LOVE to talk with you!!!! I do have lots of support, but not all of them truly understand, lol. My husband is 5' 9" & maybe weighs 200 lbs. He can eat what he wants and never gains, ugh!!! We wanted more children, but I have PCOS and have never been able to get pregnant again. We did fertility treatments for a while, but just too emotional for me. Instead of losing weight, I gained due to my emotional eating issues. We have not given up though. I am hoping after surgery, maybe!!! My family is very supportive I have 3 cousins who have already had the procedure and are a good support. Plus my Mom, Dad and Brother. It was hard to tell, but did you say your marriage is having trouble due to the wls? That happened to me 2 years ago. Now he is more supportive and things are much better, thankfully! I appreciate you answering back and I would love to write back and forth or chat if you would still like!!!! Look forward to hearing from you. Actually, we have to be friends, we have the same name and both live in TEXAS

Hi. Which surgery are u having? i just had the RNY.

I am a 37 year old married woman with one son. I had lap band in 2007 and I will now have revision to the sleeve on June 11th. I am always looking for new friends and support, even if you didn't have the same surgery or don't live in Texas. We are all here for the same reason, right? I don't spend a lot of time on this web page only because it is a little difficult to see on my phone screen and my computer runs at turtle speed. I do like to chat thoigh so if anyone is interested they can message me here or catch meon yahoo @mistyrain4726. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!
