Hi all, my name is Rusty from Houston, TX. I've been researching the Lap-band over a period of about 6 months. Since the 6th grade I have struggled with obeseity. I'm ready for a change, I'm ready to be happy with what I see in the mirror. I feel the lap-band is the best solution out there. I look forward to learning more from each of you as I continue my research and eventually become a member of the band of banded. Thanks for all the emense information you all have posted so many of my questions have been answered.
