Sorry I'm just now answering but I had trouble viewing my posts. I am doing good. I had some bad burning pain below biggest incision that lasted 1 week. Now it is sore there but better. Thank you all.

Sorry I am late to the party! I went through the Illinois Bariatric Center and LOVE it there. I had my surgery in February and still haven't regretted it one day! Everyone there is so sweet, and I look forward to going to my appointments to see the staff. I was very nervous about surgery after talking to someone that I work with, but the pain wasn't bad at all and I was up and moving around that same day!

I started the process through the Champaign office, had my surgery at the Clinton hospital (because of insurance purposes), and now go to all my follow up appointments through the Champaign Office. I live in Urbana and work in Champaign, so it is very convenient for me. I highly recommend it based on my experience thus far!

ev1988 how much have you lost since Feb? I had my surgery Sept 19th, ive lost 13lbs since then and 60lbs all together since April 4th. I did weight watchers on line from April-Aug. and lost 40lbs. The rest js from preop diet and then surgery. I see Dr Roscheibt at the MtVernon office. I get my 1st fill Nov 7th, a little nervous about that. I dont have any trouble eating anything now. But I probably will after fill.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
