I am in IL as well and was banded in June. We can talk as well. I want to lose about 100 or so-ish pounds and at the rate I am going it is going to take a LONG time.

I live in the far west Chicago Suburbs, and I'm getting my band 9/15. I have a long way to go - about 160, maybe more, and I'd love to have/be a part of a support group too.

hey Pugs-we live near each other I assume. I to am from the far west suburbs of IL.

Good luck with your band. We have the same surgeon and he is great.

My name is Maria and I have been banded for a year now... my surgery was 9/27/10 in Melrose Park. My start weight was 298 and I now weigh 204. I still have about 45 pounds to lose. I am available to anyone who needs support, has questions, needs suggestions, etc. You can email me or find me on facebook: bandedprincess@gmail.com.
