Hello everyone, I am attending a seminar about the lapband surgery next week at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Does anyone have any info to share about their program. Thanks:smile:

Just wanted to say hi to a fellow Chicagoan! I am scheduled to be banded on Jan 28th at Day One Health. I'd be happy to talk to you anytime about my preparation for surgery and, pretty soon, my recovery! Good luck with the seminar!

Gosh!! I know you are really excited!

If you don't mind me asking, are you a cash paying customer or is your insurance paying for it? Reason being, it seems that most people who paid for their own surgery had their surgery done immediately. I am going through insurance and I know it's probably going to be about 6 months before my surgery.

Also, do you know which band they will be using? I just received information about the Realize band and they have a great online support site. I'm sure that one probably isn't covered by insurance.

Keep me posted.

Congratulations and Good Luck!:huh2:
