Hello Everyone! I been lurking for a few days now, but I'm a newbie to this forum. I'm from Louisiana, but lived in Tn for over 18years. My surgery is Friday and I'm very excited! I also have a low BMI of 34. Well not low for my height and my weight. I'm 5'1 at 185 pounds and right now i'm on my pre op diet of 2 shakes and sensible dinner at night. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and I'll be checking out the other topics of this forum as soon as I submit this one :). I can't wait to be healthy and sexy at the same time! lol
