:biggrin1: Just wondering if anyone is from central Illinois? I'm from Champaign and looking for bandsters in my area. Go Illini!

Hey there. I live a little south...near St Louis.

My Sis-inlaw just had the surgery. She's from your area. What surgeon did you use? She went out of state, but is looking for a fill doc.

I can't believe they got rid of the Chief!

Hey there! So glad to see a reply. I was banded by Sid Rohrscheib in Clinton Illinois. His office and staff are great and the other doctor that works with him actually was banded himself. Your sis should check him out.

Thanks! I'll let her know. I'll also let her know to check out this site, maybe you guys can compare info.

Dr Tull done my surgery he is in with Sid Rohrscheib. I had my surgery done 2/7/07. Have lost 30 lbs since 2 week pre op .

I live in St.Joseph Il. Its nice to know there are other bandsers close by.

I went to Mexico for my band. I am now looking for a fill doctor closer to home. I go tohe Mexico on the 17th of this month for my first fill.

Awesome! So, there are a few of us out there! Dr. Rohrscheib's office is great, so anyone who needs a fill should check him out! www.lapband-md.com

Hi Nannyjh,

I'm still working on getting mine to work too. This the info that may help you.

How to post a ticker from our sister site TickerFactory.com?

If you wish to use tickers from our sister site TickerFactory.com in your signature or your post follow the following procedure:

* Configure your ticker on TickerFactory.com

Hee Nannyjh,

It looks like you got your ticker thing going. I guess I will see if mine is working when I send you this massage.

By the way I just called Dr. Rohrscheibs office about doing fills.

Had to get my daughter to help me .When you get my age The mind dosen't comperhend Lol .See yours is working also .Did you find out if you could get fills there .

hi Nannyjh,

Yes I called Dr. Rohrscheibs office about doing fills. You have to pay 500.00

for a signup fee, then 80.00 for every fill after that.I taked to someone at his office today and she was very nice, and helpful.

Oh you think you have made mistakes using this site.....the first time I tried to reply to something.....I started a thread instead of replying. It worked out fine though I was able to meet a few nice people on line.

Thank you for the reply . I really do like my doctor .He as had the surgery himself . All at the office are very friendly. I used to work in Champaign . But am now retired .Have you had any problems ? I have had one fill and that was on the 19th of March and just felt a difference this week . Know I have to eat slower and chew chew chew .

Where is every body ? There has to be more then just the three of us.

I just looked and I see on some of mine . Don't know .

I'm not banded. Just enjoy monitoring the site. Not sure that I'll have it done. My insurance doesn't cover the band and I'm not sure I've hit the last straw to make me to go out of pocket.
