I second the Kane center and also Dr rantis. Was sleeved 12/10/12 with him. He was amazing preop and also postop. I see him tomorrow for my 6 month checkup.
When did you have surgery or was it your son? Someone in one of my preop nutrition class was there with his mom and also the day I had surgery i saw the same mom and son. I never introduced myself but was wondering if that was you .
I love the Kane Center! I had gone through UIC first and went thru hell! DR. Rantis is an awesome surgeon!

After surgery I had alot of nausea & gas! It was horrible, as they wheeled me to the upper GI test I was throwing up all the way! Once they gave me that nasty contrast to drink I dont even know how I was able to keep it down during the test!

Hi Lorraine! My best advise is to keep your self busy & not over think things. I was sleeved 10/5/12 ... although i did educate myself on the surgery & what I had coming, I didnt allow my self to over do it. Why? because I know myself & I tend to over react and get very paranoid. You have to have alot of mental control & always keep in mind why you have chose to do the surgery. I wish you the best of luck & try to keep your mind busy on other things!

No that is the normal surgery time. I was sleeved 10/5/12 ... I was out in 3hrs, & was allowed liquids the following morning after the upper GI test. Like Coco said things will only get better. In one month I have lost 65 lbs & I am also off of insulin & my diabetes meds were also lowered! Hang in there & good luck!
