I welcome you to this sight and wish you all the best in this new journey. Good for you for wanting to do something about your weight at your age. I missed a lot of my children's growing up because I was obese. I deeply regret that. I have only been on this sight for a few weeks but have found it most helpful and thought provacative. I am in the process of jumpiing through insurance hoops and medical workup hoops and am planning on an October surgery. Again, best wishes for a successful rebirth into healthy eating.

Brandi,

You will love Dr. Rohrscheib and his staff just like TracyW2 said! I had him and loved everything about the place. They also offer a great support group meeting on the first Thursday of each month. I highly recommend attending one. It really helps. Good luck and take care!

Hi. I am having my band put in on November 3rd. The surgeon doing it is the one that is working with Dr. R in Champaign. His name is Dr. Kevin McEwen. He has worked in Nobelsville Indiana for years. I am still nervous tho! I am planning on going to the support group meeting on October 6th to see what it is like.
