Hey guys, I am a 20 year old male in the western suburbs of chicago, I have been overweight most of my life, and found out that I meet the criteria under my insurance (BCBS Care First), I found this out after I had been in a diet program for a few months, and my insurance requires 6 which I am now about to finish (Unfortunately I have only lost 10lbs). Any way I am planning on being banded, assuming everything works out, at the U of I medical center, and I am really looking forward to getting things rolling on this surgery. . .I would also love to hear from people who got banded at U of I abut their experience.
