Hi I am Jen and I live in Brookfield, Il. I am having my band put in on Sept 20th by Doctor Alexander Nagle @ Northwestern University Hospital with additional support from the Wellness Insitute. I HIGHLY reccomend using NWU Hosp. because the staff is really great with dealing with the insurance companies and their doctors are very well known and published in the subject, I went to Lap Band Centers on Michigan Ave. and was so turned off by the "factory" atmosphere it had. I get tons of personal attention from my team at NWU.

I know how you feel. I am getting my band on the 20th and I am excited and scared, all of it. I am on the restrictive diet right now and it is not so bad. I feel kind of icky anyway so I don't feel much like eating. Glad I found this site for support! Everyone on here seems really cool. Jen Being Banded in 7 Days!
