Springfield Area Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

Hi Bochs,

Dr. Hammer will be doing my surgery as soon as I get my approval from Health Alliance. He does do the lap band surgery. I went to the seminar in Springfield and Dr. Hammer was actually the one doing it that day so we all got to meet him and ask questions. I am looking forward to getting my surgery done and like I said, hope to get my approval soon.

Hi Quincy girl, I have been going to Dr Hammers support groups even though I will be having my surgery in Peoria. Dr. Hammer is a wonderful Doctor and I would trust him with any surgery I had. He has pretty much done any surgery I had to have but I can't go to him because of my Insurance. I think the Doctors in Peoria are good also. At least I hope so. Well good luck to you.

I had my band done oct. 2007 by dr. hammer. Couldn't be more thrilled with him or the whole process. Down 70 so far and feeling great. Would love to talk to anyone in the Springfield area, or who used dr. hammer.:cursing:

Hey I am from Springfield and had my band on June 18, 2008. Went to Dr. in Peoria for Insurance reasons and have lost 19 lbs so far. Hey KZibutis. Are you related to Nancy. I took her old job at Illinois Bell. You have to be related some how with that name. Write me back and let me know.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I am looking for people in my area.

I live in Quincy and I am seeing Dr. Sidney Rohrscheib in Clinton. I did my psych eval yesterday and we are now waiting to see what all my insurance needs for my predetermination.

Hi Tracy,

sorry it took a while to respond. I hadn't been on in a while and had trouble logging in. I am 2 1/2 year out and loving every minute of it. My cousin just had Dr R. do her surgery on 2/13 and she is also doing great. Feel free to email me privately at tlbranham@sbcglobal.net. I had great success and am loving my new looks and attitude toward life.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
