Currently working with Loyola Center and Dr. Chand's group. Would love to hear any experiences with him. I think I've only seen one or two bits about him on this forum. Needing moderate hernia repair and was encouraged to get bypass.

This would be my third surgery as I have already been banded and had it removed due to erosion. Removal was 4 years ago. Pretty nervous about going through all this again....

Lutfi is excellent and I have found Kim to be very helpful as a nutritionist.

Have you gone to any of their meetings?

Sleeved 12/16 by Dr Marcotte at Loyola. Great experience. Nurses were wonderful and took great care of me. Dr Marcotte is great at listening and answering any questions I have.

Hey everyone!

New here. About to get sleeved in June! I would love to join a support group or just meet up with people casually in the area. I'm close to Evergreen Park but open to anywhere in the Chicago area as well. Where do you guys meet up? Let's plan something

      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! 😞
