Hi! I live in the Northern suburbs - work in Chicago. I just had my surgery 1/17/11 - would love to chat, give support by e-mail, etc. It is good to know others who are going through the same thing!

Hi - I just had my lap band surgery with Dr. Elli on 1/17/11 - and i saw him on Friday for a follow-up. I have had a very positive experience with Dr. Elli and his staff as well. I didn't want to miss a lot of work or have to stay in the hospital - so Day One was the perfect choice for me. It will be one week tomorrow - i am having normal stuff like soreness at the port site and a little nausea. Overall, i am progressing well. Day One has a monthly support group too on Tuesday evenings - it might be a good idea to attend to get more feedback from his patients. I have to say that I have been impressed and very pleased with Dr. Elli and his staff - you will have to deal with his staff as well! Good luck - I support you -
