Hello everyone I am so excited to find this site!!

I am in the starting stages of the lap band process!!

Doctor Woodard at Central Dupage hospital Bariatric center has signed off on all my paperwork and it has been submitted to Blue cross. They advised I should hope to hear something back in two weeks. I see their have been alot of people denied the first go around but the staff advised they have the best ladies in the business processing paperwork. (I am trying not to get excited until I get the full green flag) All of the stories and topics I have read so far on the site have been informational and motivational so I look forward to the journey!!

Look forward to sharing my journey as well as soon as I get the green flag!!

Anyone in the Elgin area looking for a weight loss buddy let me know!! I could use a friend to walk with :behindsofa:

Hi, I am from Glendale Heights, IL. I was banded on Friday 8/29 I am doing extremely well. I went through Surburban Surgical Care / The Kane Center "Dr. Guske" and they took really good care of me. Since last Thursday I have been on clear liquids, I have lost 15 pounds thus far!! Everything is going well!! I am excited and can't wait to start exercising to get the rest of this weight loss moving!!!!
