Hey Donna, I will be banded on 9-28. I am starting out at 221. Not too far above you before the band. I am a therapist, for sexually abused children. I saw in your profile that you are going to school for psychology. Just wanted to touch base since it seems we have stuff in common. I live in Auburn, AL. We are both southern girls too! I am very excited about getting banded. I will go to Mexico. Write back if you want
