My name is Sean, I live in Placerville, CA and I am currently in the approval/orientation process to get lapband surgery. I'm 6ft 390lbs and looking for a way to get healthy again after years and years of failure. I am mostly posting to say thank you for this forum and the incredible amount of information and inspiration you've all given me. I'm scared to death of surgery but seeing what its done for you all has finally pushed me to get the ball rolling toward a procedure that could give me back my life. So thank you, all of you, for what you are doing here, and please keep up the great work.
