Hello All! My name is Laurinda and I am in Florida! I am <cough> 40 years old, been married 18 years and have two children. I get "The band" January 16th. I am so ready for a new beginning! I am on the pre-op diet now <Did I mention I was hungry?> But it's all good. I look at the light at the end of the tunnel! This will be so worth it! I am glad I found this board seeing as I have about a zillion questions! :confused: Peace to you all!
