Hello - My name is Cheryl and I'm from Southwest Florida. I'm scheduled to have Lap Band surgery in St. Petersburg at Palms of Pasadena Hospital on July 26, 2005. I'm 35 years old, married, and have 3 children, a daughter (10), and 2 sons (5 & 3). I'm self pay as my insurance company said that this surgery is still considered experimental and won't cover it. My support system is pretty good, but my husband will be leaving soon for Iraq - so I'll probably bug you guys a lot - hope you don't mind. I'm still freaking out - a little. Still thinking I should try diet pills just ONE more time, in CASE they might work this time....but, been down that road and I'm ready for a new one. My friend, HotLikeHer, introduced me to your site and I'm glad to be here.
