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

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.

Nurse_Lenora I went to the meeting a few weeks ago it was pretty cool I have never been to any type of meetings so I'm not sure what to expect nor what not to expect

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
