I'm from Danville. I haven't scheduled yet. I'm getting all my pre-testing finished next week. My surgery will be at New Lenex as well!

My surgery will be sometime before the new year. I haven't been told the date yet. When did you meet with the nutritionist? Before or after? Can you give me an idea about the line up of appointments? What things will I need to bring with me, and what things will I need to have when I get back home from surgery?

I had my sleeve surgery at St. Alexius in Hoffman Estates by Dr Rantis of the Kane Center. Everything went great. I am 5 weeks out and have already lost 22 lbs(50 lbs since pre surgery).

Hey there! I live in Schaumburg and a patient of Dr. Kane. I actually needed emergency gallbladder surgery and I got lucky and got him. Now I am looking into getting the gastric sleeve.

Getting the sleeve is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had no side-effects after the surgery and have lost 50 lbs. I could be losing faster if I was taking more care in what I ate but really loving life and now look how I've always felt.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
