Hi everyone,

Was anyone banded by Dr. Galvani at DayOne Health in Chicago? I was banded by him about a year ago. I had my last appt with him about two months back, and called in last week to schedule a check-up since I'm coming up on my one year anniversary in a couple weeks. They told me that he no longer worked there--I was shocked! Shouldn't they have contacted his patients and let us know this? I should have asked the receptionist for more information but I just made an appt with the doctor who is taking over. I see him next week, but this has really been bugging me.

Just wondering if anyone has more information on Dr. Galvani or advice/thoughts as to how to handle working with a new doctor.

Thanks!

Val

Hi Val,

Dr. Galvani was originally suppose to do my surgery. I'm not sure why he left but I'm guessing it was abrupt, becuase all of a sudden he just was not there anymore. Any way, I went with Dr. Myers and he's great. If you have to choose a Dr. there I would go with him.

Thanks Kimmy. They put me with Dr. Elli, and so far he is great. So weird that Galvani just "disappeared" though.

Another question: have you been to the support group there yet?

I have not been to any of the support groups yet. I would like to go, but my schedule just won't allow it.
