How do you feel about being single and waiting to lose the weight and find someone special? Do you ever wonder if you'll find someone who is banded and have a relationship with them? How does all this effect the way your interpret relationships?

City: Duncanville (suburb of Dallas) State: TX | I would love to have a relationship with someone who has the Lap Band.
1. We could go out to eat and share 1 plate (hahaha)...saves the wallet.
2. They would understand the struggle.
3. They would be more likely to exercise with me and understand when I don't want to exercise. | |

"Hope" is not a strategy
Recovering alcoholics have their spaces, recovering druggies have their spaces, but there's apparently no place -- even here -- for us recovering fatties. It's a shame, because I'll always be an obese person in remission. Where do I go?? |

State: Tennessee | I think meeting someone with the band would be great. I don't have too many friends my age with bands so it would be nice to meet someone with a band so we could share in eachothers struggles.

City: houston State: Texas | I wouldnt say I waited to loose my weight before I started looking for a relationship, but as I lost weight, my confidence in myself increased and I ended up meeting more guys
As for finding a guy who also had a band, thatd be awesome, or even someone who is or once was heavy..just so they can understand my emotional baggage more..so if anyones interested here I am! haha maybe we can make personal ads...heres mine

City: Sugar Land State: TX | It would be great to meet someone with a band. It would make life a little easier. They would understand why I can't eat certain foods and can't drink beer. They would understand the commitment I've made to this lifestyle.
It is nice to dream!

But it doesn't affect how I interpret relationships. It would be cool though to have that common ground with somebody special. It doesn't have to be someone with a band. I'd just like to meet somebody period.

I feel great about being single.
I feel great I've lost the weight.
I'd like to find someone special but don't mind if I never do.
I wouldn't mind it a bit if I dated someone who has a band.
Being banded has not effected the way I interpret relationships at all....save for relationship with food. That's changed.

City: Fort Payne State: Alabama | nahh I was just ramblin...I mean being single and waiting on someone special in general...not just cause we're losing weight...even though that gives more confidence (not that I need anymore lol) but anyway I just think it'd be awesome to have someone in my life that really has the same interests as well as the same "cured" struggle. I would totally date a bandster haha!! And not just cause it's cheaper...just cause we can relate and we know each other on a deeper level than most...the stripped emotional vunerable level!

| I just saw this thread. It would be amazing finding someone with a band. I am trying to start dating again for the first time in a long time. Haven't gone on a date in probably 18 months at least.
