  5. Longhorn, I'm taking 9 days off my teaching job. I will work at the computer from home. I do translations. If I don't work or do something productive... I'll get depressed. I went to the grocery store to check out all the yogurts,puddings,drinks etc. I'm so excited.
  6. I'm being banded in November,Nov 5th! I suffer from Panic attacks and I'm more afraid for the anxiety than for the operation. I don't want to come in fainting..... My DH will be waiting all by himself... I have many family members that have had it done and they are so happy...
