Hello Everyone! I am new here :)

I would just like to introduce myself. My name is Michelle or Chelle, what most people call me. I am 20 yrs old from West Springfield. I have a 17 month old child named Kristopher. He is my pride and joy . I have been seeing Dr. Fiallo for my surgery. I have done all the steps and now I am either waiting for my insurance reply or have to see the Nutritionist again because of a few problems. I should hopefully have my surgery sometime this year. I am getting the elastic band. I'd rather that since it's safer and he also recommended it to me. I have alot of support at home which I feel is great. I've been contemplating this for quite a while and now it's coming true. I would love to get to know many of you and possibly become friends. I was referred here by my nutritionist and she said this is a lovely website with alot of love and support and I hope to feel that. I suppose that covers it for now Thank you for letting me introduce myself
