Ok, here I am! Hey all, I'm Dave! Just want to say hello. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'll be banded on 10-16-08. I just found this thread, very cool that the LGBT community has our little space on LBT. Anyway, HI! Dave :crying:

Anyone have the lap band surgery at Stanford Hospital? I am considering Dr. Morton. Any feedback would help. Thanks! Dave:thumbup:
