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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
