I escaped the sleep study, but did get my endo done yesterday at Loyola.

Hi I am from a south suburb of Chicago. I had my surgery at the University of Chicago. My surgery was July 23, 2012. I am down 75 lbs. my starting weight was 220. I am now 145. I was stalled for over two months. I would love to get down to 128. I am losing very slow.

Miss Mac is the endo the ultrasound? I have to do the sleep study. I guess because I replied I snore sometimes. Is that unusual? Not complaining though I'd rather be safe.

Hi there. I live in the northwest suburbs. I just joined the forum today and went to my first information session yesterday. I have a consultation with Dr. Woody Denham on 8/29. From the information session last night, it sounds like VSG is the best surgery choice for me.

Scylla I'm having Dr. Denham do my surgery also.

Surgery date for me is Nov. 27th. Have you started the process yet?

Hi,

I was sleeved in May of 2012 and have lost 60 pounds, however I still struggle with the emotional part of eating. I am part of a support group that meets in Yorkville, IL on Wednesday’s from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the Centennial Counseling Center located at 110 E. Countryside Parkway, Suite C. It is for anyone with an eating disorder and is free of charge. It has been so helpful to me and I just wanted to share.
