I would love to join... I have been looking for a good support group to help me. I am 22 5'5" and 190... I went to my doc in June to see if he could help me.. The first thing he said after I told him what I was there for was "I think gastric bypass would be the best thing for you, prescription pills just won't work for you".. (at that time I was 220) I had never heard about it, so he explained it and I wasn't sure so I told him I would call him and let him know. I called my mom after I left, crying, I didn't think I was that big. He really made me feel bad and look at myself in a whole different way. Well I called him and told him that I wanted to go on pills anyway. So I have been on Phentermine since, with a low calorie diet and light workout (not much time to exercise with 2 jobs, 7 days a week) and I have lost 30 lbs. But I am stuck here. I would love to join a support type group, (help with meals and exercise) I think that would really help me out. Thanks
