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'm in the west burbs, but I'm an old married lady LOL

South Sider - Illinois/Indiana area.

i'm in dupage county. I have mine scheduled for July 2nd.

I'm on the Southside as well...

I know of Dr. Cahill through St. Margaret's Dyer. Many of my doctor's including my eye doctor are out of there.

I went to Dr. Cahill a few years ago, but I lost my insurance after I enrolled with them. A few years later I decided to try again and was sent to Healthy4Life out of St. Mary's/Community Hospital. Best of luck to you!!!!

Dr. Cahill was my surgeon as well... I was sleeved at Little Company of Mary in Evergreen Park...

I wanted mine there but I just had mine at west lake hospital in melrose park il.

The Alexian Brothers support groups actually meet at the Kane Center in Hoffman Estates, and cost $10 each. Here's the info: http://www.suburbansurgicalcare.com/seminars/support-groups/

It is a pretty big group of people. There were at least 30 people in the room and there are no lap band patients, because they have different needs. I hate that the meetings are monthly and not bi-weekly. Otherwise, they are fine.

Hi! I'm in Kankakee County but going to New Lenox (near Joliet) for VSG , Dr.joyce & Dr Lahmann do the sleeve and SilverCross Hospital is a Center of Excellence for bariatric surgery. I found them thru ObesityHelp.com. The group is called BMI Surgery. Good luck!
