Hello all, I have been reading a lot of helpful things on this site and wanted to join in with a big "thank you" to everyone. I decided to post today as I am getting closer to becoming one of the banded. I have my final pre-surgery consult on Tuesday, July 7th, with surgery on the 27th. I am having it done at Cox South Hospital in Springfield, MO. My surgeon is Thomas Moffe...coincidentally the same surgeon who removed my gall bladder several years ago. So of course I have faith in him!:smile2:

I am so happy to join such a helpful group as ya'll!

Welcome! Great to have you. Everyone on this sight has been so understanding and supportive for me. Iknow you will feel the same.

My surgery is July 13th. Good luck to both of us:=)

Thanks for the nice welcome. I'll be thinking of you on the 13th! I am sure we will both have good luck.
