Hello everyone. My name is Kara. I came upon your discussion group while researching the lap band proceedure. I am trying to find a place that accepts medicaid in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

This is most informative. Although it seems worthwhile, it does not seem as easy as they make it out to be on the tv commercials. I am going to read everything. I have been to one seminar which featured testimonials and a movie of the surgery.

This forum has such a wealth of info.... take some time and read, read, read!

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am enjoying all of the information so far. See you around. *S*

Hi Kara, welcome to lapbandtalk forum. You will find a ton of information here. Best of luck finding a surgeon.
