I am also from Mt. Vernon and had lapband in July. There is a support group through Crossroads hosp. I am not sure when it meets, but you can call the hosp. or call 1-(866)622-9222. This is the Dr. that does Lapband in Mt. Vernon and they can give you the info.:thumbup:

I am from Southern Illinois. I had my surgery on July 14,2010. I have lost about 20 lbs, and have had 1 fill. I will have my second one on wednesday. Have you had your surgery? If you have , have you had any problems?:thumbup:

Well, tomorrow July14, 2010 is the day for my Lap-Band surgery. I am excited and nervous.When I went to do my pre-op the lady who registered me said that having gastric bypass was better because that is what she had and proceeded to pull out her pics of before and after of her. She said gastric bypass patients lose more weight easier and quicker than lap-band patients. Anyway, that is enough of that. I am new to this blog thing and am hoping for alot of encouragement from people out there who have had this surgery.
