Banding in Illinois 2do or not 2do?

[sarahv 0]

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!!
