hi, i ive in berwyn and was wondering if there are any fellow bandsters out there.

Hi, don't live in Berwyn I am in Itasca up near Elk Grove Village. Welcome to the board.

thanks christine

Hi..I am not too far from you. I live near the Chicago/Oak Park/Elmwood Park area. Do you attend any support groups nearby? Paula

no, i dont go to any groups.
how far along are you in the process?
i have been banded for over a year, i was down 50lbs, but then i got pregnant, and got unfilled and ate WHATEVER i wanted for 8 months and let me tell you, i****he best 9 mths of my life,lol  and gained back 20, and the other day i ws about 12 lbs form where i started when i got prego.
what about you?

I just hit my 3yr anniversary back in October.  Don't stress too much with where you are at in the weight loss.  Seriously, I was really losing slowly in the beginning, and then in the past 10months I've dropped the most weight.
I am almost at a goal, about 2 1/2 pounds away, but then I want to lose another 30 pounds for a final goal.

This article was written by Vafa Shayani recently.  It tells you where he is now.

Hi,

I haven't seen Dr Shayani since he left Loyola Hospital. I've been banded since '05 though, so I am a bit of an oldtimer, LOL.

Hi, I'm an Oak Park bandster. Dr. Sarker at Loyola did my band. I think my profile says Dr. Shayani's my doctor but he left Loyola before I was approved. We should organize a get together. I'm about 16 months out, have lost 75 pound but those last 30 seem darn near impossible. Let me know what people think! We could meet up at Starbuck's or Panera both off Lake and Harlem in River Forest.
