I am in La Verne, CA about 40 miles east of Downtown L.A. I am new to this site, and I am now excited to see all of the So Cal people here, I was feeling a little lonely until I found this local group. I just joined this site today, and I am enjoying all of the discussions. I am not banded yet, I am in the preliminary stages, just finished my evaluations, the Psych eval was pretty emotional for me! Now I am waiting for the final approval from my insurance company, and then I can set my band date! I am a little scared and excited at the same time!
