msmondat 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Hello Everyone, I am seriously considering the Lap Band. I am currently researching the pros and cons. I am very nervous about this but more nervous about my health. Although I have been diagnosed with any health problems I am ready to live a more comfortable and healthy life. I am glad to find this site and look forward to your support. Thanks, Monda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justjan 0 Posted February 18, 2008 Hi, I live in the western suburbs of Chicago and visited three lap band centers before I made my decision. I went with the Kane Center in Arlington Heights. It's the farther from my home than the other two but the one I felt most comfortable with. So far it's been a positive experience. Their insurance department fought for my surgery after it was originally denied. I'll be having surgery in the next few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
