hi mandi! my name is caroline sibila and i'm from morganton, nc. i have a daughter your age and i thought i'd drop you a note. i'm really excited for you. i'm 41 and have fought my weight my whole life. my surgery is this thursday, 8-15, and i'm excited, nervous, anxious and a little scared, but i'm not going to let that fear change my resolve. i'll be praying that your surgery goes well and that it is everything you expected it to be. Have faith and i hope to hear from you soon! Caroline
