melissa, you are of course welcome. I called to confirm that there would be 6 or 8 of us and they said there were no reservations. But we should have a fairly short wait. Here is the address, as I just learned that there are 3 Olive Gardens in Naperville. Can't wait to see you all there.

620 S State Route 59

Naperville, IL 60540

(630) 355-2818

I'm in Romeoville, west of the city. ~Mandy

Hey Mandy,

I'm in Bolingbrook and wondering who you had for a surgeon and how the procedure went.

I had sugery in the city, and was unhappy with the surgeon and he is in california now. I use Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross Hospital. I think they are great. Let me know if you want or need more information. ~Mandy

Ok, the 5 of us met yesterday, and I had a great time. I would like to do this again next month. Lets plan this early so we can all mark the calender and have the day free. When? Where? And who's in? ~Mandy

I would like to try a different place next time, same area though. I think that my portion will be much smaller next time. I am going to get a fill sometime in the next 2 weeks. ~Mandy

Of course count me in as well! I will actually be banded next time!! Yeah!

Thanks ladies for answering my endless questions! Tomorrow's the day. I've been excited up until today. Now I have to admit I'm a little scared. Plus my son's asthma is acting up today, so part of me is saying that I should stay home with him. But I know that being alive for him is one of the main reasons I'm doing this. It's just hard.

lala---I hope that everything goes well for you! It will totally all be worth it! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Mandy---Count me in, however I already know that I am not available Feb. 4th (my bday) and Feb. 11th. Just to give you a heads up!

Glad to hear that you all had a great time! I am really sorry that I could not make it! I have been having a rather difficult time eating lately anyways...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
