sleevers in Chicago southland

Hello to all,

I'm looking for sleevers in Chicago southland. Would like to get a small support group together. I had my surgery in the north suburbs. The support groups that they have are all on Saturdays. I work alot of saturdays. So it makes it difficult to make it to many meetings. I'm hoping to find some sleevers that live near me. This will make it easier to make regular meetings.

It may also be fun to find others to workout with. If you are in the area and would like to form a support group, please let me know. Thanks Jane

I have Dr. Rantis. I have only met him once, but he seems really nice and spent a lot time with me.

Oops, duplicate.

I'm in Chicagoland too, it's great connecting with others from the area.

Jaspersgirl, who's your surgeon?

Dr Nagle.. he is awesome!!!! he is the director of the bariatric program. Dr H is awesome as well, they are both great!!!!! My mom is getting done by Dr Nagle as well. soo exciting... I can't wait to get down to my goal weight... I think back to when I was sleeved last year and the journey... it makes me smile... I have a new life. a whole new, happier and healthier me!
