I meet with him on March 8th. My surgery is scheduled for April 13th.

I won lap band surgery on the radio station and he is the one doing the surgery.

I am so excited.

His staff is the best. They are so welcoming and nice. Couldn't ask for better care. I wish all doctors' offices ran that way.

Hello! Sid is my doctor and I think he is awesome! He banded me in February 2008. When are you going to have your surgery?

Hello! I met him on May 7th for my 1st visit in this hopefully not that long process. I go back on May 22 for my 3 in 1 Dr's visit (psych, nutrition, physical) and it can't come fast enough! Trying to read as much info as I can to help prepare for what's to come. I know they then send all that info in for approval, does anyone know what happens after that...I mean test wise, if approved? He was great to talk to, he spent like 45 minutes with me, what doctor does that? lol I have to even pay my deductable & 30% because he's a ppo under my BCBSIL but I think that will be worth it as apposed to being totally covered by a general surgeon that is under my insurance. I think it's best to have a specialist, they can explain more and understand our specific needs and questions. Any advice/tips/suggestions is much appreciated, new to IL and don't really know anyone....new friends always welcome! ;-)

Hi everyone ~ Dr Sid banded me on 5/4 and I've lost 18# since my "3-in-1" visit 2 weeks before that. My 6 week checkup is 6/18, and I am already feeling pretty good about this journey! I'm in Bloomington/Normal, if anybody is nearby!

Tell me your secret! lol I had my 3 in 1 on May 22 and just waiting for the Psych Eval to be signed off on & the paperwork to be send it, they said it will take 2-3 weeks just for it to be signed off on before sent for approval, Ughhh

Oh gosh, it hasn't even been a week, how are you struggling? The first week is the worst, but it does get better as you see progress. Where is the support group?

Maria, I work for a BIG company and we do have good insurance. However, I started this journey in 2011, had to have my family physician follow my diet for at least six months, and he did NOT support me. So I switched doctors. Just at the end of the diet program, my insurance dropped that requirement and I was immediately approved. I was to have the surger in April, but it was scheduled a day before a wedding for a very close friend, so I postponed it until May. So, actually my "journey" was 15 months!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
