Hello! I am a 26 year old single mom of a 5 year old girl. I live in Rockford Illinois and need help loosing weight! I am very nervous about the whole banding process, but I am also very excited. I have been going to a nutritionist for 6 months and I want to go forward with the process. I am not even sure if the Medical card will cover this surgery, but I read somewhere that there are doctors in Chicago who will perform the procedure. I would love to learn more about the band. I have had a mom and sister who have had the gastric bypass, one lost a lot of weight, and the other did not stick to the plan and is bigger now than she was. I know I need some help loosing the weight for a lot of reasons, but I want to make sure it is the best thing to do!!!:thumbup:
