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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
