I haven't seen too many posters from Illinois - but here goes.
I'm looking for anyone banded in Illinois....I'm near Naperville/Aurora
How did it go?
Who banded you?
Where did you have it done?
How was it?
All the usual questions....
I'm thinking banding because I don't want my inards rerouted. I had a Csection with my daughter and hated the invasiveness of it - I can only imagine what I would feel like after a RNY.
I've been changing my lifestyle since the end of last year. My work made membership to the healthclub free for employees - so I'm there everyday doing 45minutes/2.3 miles on the treadmill - but haven't lost a lb.
I haven't been dieting - but just watching what I'm eating - we used to eat out several times a week. Now - it's maybe once a week. The rest of the week I try to make well rounded meals....
Last week I would have thought anyone going to Mexico for surgery was taking their lives in their own hands (my husband is from central Mexico - we visit almost every year) ....
And then I spent last night pouring over this board reading all the wonderful stories about having it done by Rumbaut(sp) in Mexico.
Anyone who would like to chime in, please feel free. I work overnight weekends - so I'll be up tonight and will need something to read!!
