LBT more than a year later

I love this site.

It's been well over a year since I got started on here. I know my avatar says I've been on for ages but I didn't really start hanging around until after I was banded.

Well, I think this site is fantastic. There are pages and pages of stuff I never read, but low and behold something new pops up and 20 minutes later reading everyones experiences and I have a better understanding about what I can expect.

Specifically? I just got a fill today. I was on the fence about getting it, I'm very close to my sweet spot. Anyway, I feel pretty confident that I can ride this out a few days if I stick to my beginning bandster rules. I read a few threads that agree with that and some other things to be mindful of and I'm just relieved.

Thanks so much for all the support. It's appreciated.
