Hi all, are there any people here from Chicago?

Hi, I'm from chicago. I was banded 9/16/2012 at mercy hospital. Feel free to send me a message.

I was banded may 2011 at day one health in downtown chicago..I live in the south suburbs.

Im in Chicago and am thinking of getting banded. I have read that Mt.Sinai now offers the service, which would be great for me since I live two blocks from there. I have a medical card *** and I believe I have to change that if I was looking into the surgery. I have a BMI of 40+ and hope that I qualify for the surgery.

Hi...I work at schwab across the street from that hospital on some weekends...yes they do the surgery there...feel free to check out my blog on here and on you tube...jennypoo6043

you are very close to me! I oftentimes take my son to the playground in front of Schwab. I work at a school going south on California. I am going to contact Sinai to see what the out of pocket is, if my medicaid denies me. Im glad I found this forum since I have so many questions.

This is a great place for support...feel free to message me with questions.

Thanks everyone!

Banded at DayOne Health in downtown Chicago March of 2008. Everything was great, but two kids later I can't get back on track. Very frustrating!!!!!
