Hi everyone -- Recently, in a non-weight-loss context, my boss said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I've been thinking about that in relation to my 35 years of yo-yo dieting. This time I'm resolved to do something that will actually work, for real and for good. I know I can lose weight -- I've had tons of practice! -- but, as I'm sure most of you know, the trick is to keep it off, and that's where I've failed.

I have been reading about the Lap Band for a couple of years now, and finally am ready to take the plunge. I discovered your great web site a few days ago and want to thank everyone for providing a great on-line source of information and support.

I am considering the ILOST center in Mexico since I speak Spanish (and I've read positive reviews of the doc), but I have not given up on Chicago doctors yet. Anyone have experience at Northwestern U. Hospital?

Thanks.

Anyone out there in the Chicago area? I have been reading about the Lap Band for a couple of years now, and finally am ready to take the plunge. I am considering the ILOST center in Mexico since I am Spanish-speaking, but I have not given up on Chicago doctors yet. Anyone have experience at Northwestern U. Hospital? There was an interesting post from someone in May, but no way to contact her off-list.

Thanks.
