I've been a slight lurker for a few weeks and I must say - you've all been so helpful as I went through the decision making process to get banded.

I am likely getting banded at the end of August (still waiting on final confirmation to schedule the surgery) and I'm really excited to walk through the next season of my life with you all!

In my spare time, I am planning my destination wedding in Cancun (Feb 2010) and learning to do advanced ballroom dancing. One thing is for sure -- I certainly wont miss being in pain while dancing.

Just wanted to say hello!

Hello Ashley, and welcome! Congratulations on the journey you're soon to embark on.... well, actually you're already on it. Sounds like you're busy living a good life in the meantime, that's great!
