Hello everyone! I'm new to this, from Chicago Illinois. I am in the middle of the 6 month monitoring process in the weight loss program at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. I'm so scared that my insurance will deny me! All my life I've struggled with my weight and tried every single diet losing some weight and gaining even more. On 2007 I had the lap band done. It did nothing for me always had a problem; slippage, not connected, flipped port you name it; it happened to me! Best wishes to everyone on their journey!

Best wishes on your journey Yvimac! I'll be praying that your insurance goes through. I'm at the end stage in my journey so I know how frustrating it can be at times. If you have any questions just ask, most of the people here are willing to help! Welcome to the forum :-)

I only have wonderful things to say about NWH. My surgeon literally saved my life, due to the last complication I had with the Lapband!!!!
