Hi Edward, and welcome to LBT. I am from Jacksonville, but used to live in Fruitland Park which is pretty close to Ocala.

Anyways, congrats on getting your band. We look forward to getting to know you!

I was banded by Dr. Jawad 7/15 & am doing great. I live in Daytona Beach. Can I ask something personal? Where is your port site?

I may have to get a port revision. Every day just gets easier...CONGRATS!:whatchutalkingabout
