Researching Newbie From Chicago

[msmondat 0]

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

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.
