Hi and welcome to LBT! I think you have made a wonderful decision, I know I have had no regrets. Any idea on when you will be having your surgery? Make sure you read the stickies at the top of the forums, they are loaded with valuable information. And, of course, don't be afraid to ask us for any advice you need, that is what we are here for.

Hi Lunasprite, I got my band in Aug. I live in Houston area, Tx but my bro and sister-in-law live in Elgin, Il. Was just in Rockford in July. Welcome aboard, you'll love it here. Great people that will be very helpful!
