I am from Southern Il and I am hoping to meet others in my area that are getting or have the band. I would love to talk to anyone as well. I am 3 months into my diet with the Dr. and have had all my tests done. I am hoping and praying all goes smoothly with the process.

HI! I live in Mt. Vernon and am looking for a support group in the area - Mt. Vernon, Marion, Carbondale, etc. I will have surgery on 10-26 in St. Louis, but would like a support group closer to home. Any ideas are appreciated! Thanks.

I just found this thread - I live just north of Marion. I had my surgery Jan 4, 2010. There must be more Southern Illinoisians out there somewhere! :biggrin:

I am from Southern IL also. I see it has been a whilw since you have been on just wondering how your surgery has went?
