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

How are you doing simmons after fill . I am restricted now can't eat very much at a time . How are you doing Crazy cat .

Hi Nannyjh,

Are you restricted to much or just right ? Is this normal for you, or do you think the second fill just worked better ?

I can't hardly wait for my first fill. I was doing a lot of yard work yesterday and forgot to eat all day. For dinner I eat a six inch tuna from subway. I never eat that much at one time....but I did last night.

I wonder how Simmons is doing with her second fill ?

I wonder if I should go on a liquid diet for a few days just in case.

I would just tell the doctor about you don't feel restricted . I think I had a good fill this time and now its doing what it is to . I don't know about Simmons . Hope she gets as good results as I do . As I know she has the same in hers now as I do .

Hey nannyjh and crazycat! Well nannyjh, I wish I could say the same for myself, but I really can't tell the difference with 1.3 vs 2.0 ccs of restriction. I'm not sure if I'm not restricted enough or the fact that I got my period the day after my fill and I get ravenous each and every time that I get it. I haven't lost anymore weight. Still stuck. I'm so happy for you that you aren't hungry. I hope it works for me soon. :phanvan I'll keep you posted!:help:

Hi Simmons,

Just wondering if your fill restriction has gotton any better for you yet ?

Hi!! I am new to this site. I am SERIUOSLY thinking about doing a Lap Band procedure. I am wondering who the doctors are arond this area that do it. I have found out that my insurance will cover it if I jump through a few hoops. I am to the point that I would jump through those hoops even if they were on fire. Could any of you point me in the right direction...I've read a few of your posts but I'm wondering if you know of ANY other docs around our area (Champaign).

Thanks so very much!!!!!!

Amy

Dr. Tull & Dr. Rohrscheib They do the surgery in Clnton or Champaign .Its the IBC you can find in phone book Dr. Tull done mine I have had 2 fills have lost from 249 1/2 to 210 since first part of Feb 2007 .

I'm assuming these are the only 2 in our are then? I did some research and have only found these two gentlemen myself. I am hoping they aren't only the ONLY ones but the BEST ones. Thanks so much.

Congrats on the lose. I am so frustrated right now with my weight. I weigh more now then I did the day my 4th son was born. ARGH. I have been trying to watch what I eat and I have been working out 5 to 6 days a week FAITHFULLY for the last 5 months. I've lost 6 lbs. I would really like to see more of a result. My Mom, sis and my bro are all overweight. I just think some of my weight is in my genes. How frustrating...

Hi Wrkmnx6,

From what I understand Dr.Tull has had the band surgery himself.I have heard that they are both good doctors. I myself had my surgery in Mexico by Dr.Ortiz. I am going to Dr. Rohrscheib in Clinton for my first fill tomorrow; then after that I will going to his office in Champain. Hope this info helps.

Yes Dr.Tull has had the surgery . He is my doctor and I like him . He tries to encourage you . Just wondering . have you heard any good or bad feed back on either of the doctors .As know you have ask if any more in this area

Hi, I'm going through the process in Peoria with Dr. Marshall. I live South of Monticello in Bement. Haven't been banded yet, but am hoping very soon to get my surgery date.

I live in Argenta. Was banded 2/6/07 .I Clinton by Dr.Tull . Was in Bement yesterday visiting a friend. my first name is jennie you might know me

Hey fellow champaign lapbanders. I have been banded since august 2006. Glad to see some locals. I am from the champaign area. Dr R is great! I haven't had any problems with any of my fills. I have never had a fluro. I have 3.2 cc.s in a 4 cc. band. there are different size bands. some have a 10 cc band so it would take longer for them to feel a difference once they have had their fills. Would be great to meet everyone. We should start a support group.

Three of us had lunch last month supposed to this month but haven't set it up yet . Simmons and Crazy cat any time good for you for lunch let us know and we will come Jennie Good to se another one in our area
