As you have guessed, I live in Florida and I have been overweight most all of my life. I have decided to do something about it. I have been researching the lap band procedure for over 1 month now and I'm going to a meeting regarding it on Sept 6.

Who are you going to?

I am going to see Dr Mark Fusco in Melbourne, FL. Have you heard of him?

I'm in the very early stages of the process. I have to go to the seminar first and then make an appt w/him.

Good for you...that is great...congrats on your decision...I am so glad that I have the band...it has worked great for me...I was banded in April and I have lost 47 lbs...I couldn't be happier...
