I think there are a lot of people doing LL. I think the reason why both forums seem "dead" is because of the nature of this surgery. I believe that most people who do this surgery want to be as private as possible, and they also don't want to do with all of the questioning and finger pointing that comes with starting a diary. Also, it might be a scary thought, but I am sure there are many people out there who get this surgery done without even knowing both forums exist!
But I absolutely feel you man, I come onto both old forum and LL Forum several times a day. I've been doing this for the past couple of years and I can't wait to finally get the money and get this done.
