Welcome Simone! Where are you located and where are you thinking about having surgery? I'm in Eugene, but will be having surgery at OHSU in Portland. Linda

Welcome Simone. This is a great place to ask questions and get information. From people who have had weight loss surgery and from people like yourself who are looking into surgery. I have learned alot here. Take care! Carrie

Welcome Simone!! 9 kids!! Whew, you must already have a lot of energy to keep up with them, but this surgery will give you a LOT more . I encourage you to visit both the state and the main board. If you are in my area at all there are two wonderful support groups and one of them is specifically for Lap Band. The support is worth it's weight in gold both here and locally. Glad to have you on board!! Trisha

Welcome, Simone! 9 kids! How incredible! I'm sure they've been quite the challenge for you! I had my band put in by the Legacy group (Emma Patterson and Jay Jan) in 2005 and am thrilled with it! Be sure to also check out the lap band forum here, too! Lori

I have decided to have my surgery through biliteweight they have one clinic in detroit and one in Tejauna i know i spelled that wrong. lol Im haveing the Lap band done in Tejanua I cant afford the price here int he us and I have talk to many people that have had it done there and are very happy with it.
