It's finally good to here from someone in the Charleston area. I was beginning to think there was no one there. I didn't make it to the festival, I live approximately 3 hours from Charleston. It's good to here your moving along in your lapband. I spoke to Medobolix today and my first appointment is July 7. Really looking forward to it. Wanting to ask alot of questions and get things moving. Hope to keep in touch with you through your journey. Good Luck, Bonita:thumbup:
