So nice to see someone local! I'm in Peoria...and yes, I'm scheduled for surgery 7/5, with the bypass...unfortunately had the band at one point and with complications had to have it removed 4 years ago. Dr Swain helped with the removal so went back to him for advice on next steps. There is so much information on this site I'm just trying to find all that I can. But so looking forward to having the surgery out of the way. I see you are 94 lbs down, that is incredible, congratulations!
