Hello Everyone

Just saying hello. I am new to this site. I have been "lurking" and researching the Band for some time. I have attended two different doctor seminars and have selected a doctor. My first appointment will be on May 31 with Dr. Adam Smith in Fort Worth. I live about 4 hours drive away, but I am really impressed with this Doc and his staff.

I will be self-pay. My group insurance excludeds ANYTHING related to obesity. It was not easy coming up with the $$$, but I really believe this will be worth it. I am thankful I have a hubby that supports me in this decision.

There is some really great information and support here. Thanks to everyone that makes it possible.
