I have BCBS IL and I am with Dr. Nagel at Northwestern Memorial. It's a nice program.

@ FAYFAYE, I believe so because we have a round table discussion while we wait for the doctor to call us in for our fills and there was a girl there who came from another doctor to him. I provided the number in my first post so you can check it out.

My surgeon was DR. Hungness @ Northwestern (same practice as Dr. Nagle) and he is great too :) all of the staff I have dealt with there has been great. Kaitlin Fiore (NP) did my last fill and she is awesome too! Good luck!

I also go to Dr Nagle at Northwestern...I like him and the staff is incredible. Kaitlin did my last fill. She is great so is the rest of the staff. Northwestern also has a lifestyle medicine group with great Drs, Nutritionists and shrinks. I like to get help from every angle...good luck to you!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
