I'm thinking of starting a local support group out of my home in Bolingbrook Il...anyone interested?

I work days, mon-fri. I'm game for whenever. There are times that I have my almost 7 year old with me, hope that's ok. I had surgery at UIC with Dr. Horgan, but Dr.Lahmann is my band doc now and I LOVE him. He is just great. Like I said I'm game for whenever. ~Mandy

i will be banded oct. 6 by Dr. Lahmann at silver cross .i would like to join your support group i live so close to the promanade i could walk.

That's great! I am still in the process of getting things lined up. I think Friday nights will be the only day that I can do it. I have never headed a support group before. But, I think the most important thing is that we all get together and talk about our experiences....my daughter just had her surgery last Tuesday w/Dr Lahmann.

Hi all,

I also live close to Bolingbrook and would love to join the support group (if there's still room)! :redface:

I was just banded a month ago and could really use some help!

Thanks!

I would like everyone who is interested in the support group to send me a private message w/your personal email. Lets get this thing started!

the other day i seen some one said they had a book called lap band surgery for dummies. did you see that post? i have been trying to find it all day with no luck. if you have any info. would you let me know.

I did see the book titled "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies" on Amazon...I think it deals with the Lapband as well as gastric bypass.

i am going to get my band on Monday.I go to the hosp at 5-30am will have surgery at 730 i was wondering if you had started the support group yet? let me know when you do because i want to come to it.

Yes! I would love to be a part of your group. They call me Lean and I just had the band put in 4 weeks ago and haven't had the fill yet but I really could use support and give it if I can be of help to anyone. I live 20 minutes from Bolingbrook. Please let me know when and where and I'll be there.

Thanks Lean

My email is lenamarie1@netzero.net please let me know if you got your Bolingbrook group together and Fridays would be fine for me too. let me know. I jsut got banded 4 wks ago and will get a fill in a few weeks.

Looking forward to meeting other band-its!

New Support Group for Bandsters at Adventist Bolingbrook Hosptial. First meeting is July 15th at 6p. Call 630-312-2263 for more info. Support has come to Bolingbrook, finally!

Hello everyone. I live in Romeoville, just off Weber Rd. (5mins from Bolingbrook). I started my LapBand Journey Aug 19th by attending a seminar at Bolingbrook Adventist Hospital with Dr. Vafa Shayani. I finished everything I needed for insurance this past Monday & Dr. Shayani's nurse (TAMMY) submitted all my info to insurance. Here it is two days later and I got an approval today around 2pm. I'm so excited and I have no one to really share my success with that understands what I am going thru. I would love to be involved in a support group. I will be setting my date on Monday. Just need to get an approval for time off from my job. I'm hoping for Oct 14th or Oct 21st. Just keep me posted on the support group idea. When & where??? I'm all for it!!! YAY!!! So excited to begin this wonderful journey!!!
