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

Brenda1980....where are you located? Have you been banded?

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.

I'm in Bloomington Il banded July 23, 2013.

I am in Urbana. Banded Sept 2012. Very discouraged.

Why are you discouraged?

I am curious. Are there no support groups at Carle...?

I'm not sure about Carle, but there is a support group that meets at Illinois Bariatric Center, over near Prospect and Olympian Dr. That's where I had my surgery. I'm not able to attend the support groups, but everyone in that office is super friendly, so the group is probably very inviting. I don't think it matters where you had your surgery, you can still go I think. Maybe give them a call. Good luck!

I'm in Champaign-Banded on the 15th!

There is a new group on fb called gastric banners of Illinois
