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'd love to meet... I live in the city, but I don't mind driving.. I also DJ a karaoke show on Wednesday ***hts in Palos Hills at Zante on 103rd and Roberts Road... don't know if you guys are near there or not, but I'd love to hang out before my set starts!!

NicksMom and Kat - how about meeting in The Schaumburg area? (and anyone else who wants to join us!!)

Schaumburg would be great for me!

I would meet in Schaumburg please let me know the date and soon pre op starts Monday

I would be willing to meet also, however schaumburg is way to far out for me. I'm in the city 2 miles from downtown, so if anyone is Interested in meeting anywhere in the city I'm up for that.

Do we want to try something this Sunday?

Hi all.... I did it I'm still very sore as they had to repair a hiatal hernia too. Just got home frome the hospital. Kinda loopy from pain meds as well. I'll keep you posted on my progress..

I think Sunday in Schaumburg will work, though it depends on how I feel, as I'm still pretty sore.

I'm sorry, I can't do Sunday because I'm going to be out of town this weekend. Please don't let me hold you back but let me know when the next meeting will be and I will be there.

I can go Sunday either place my daughter lives downtown count me in let me know

lol, I started this thread and M.I.A for a bit, came back to find a meet up being planned in Schaumburg. I apologize, but I can't make it I put this thread months ago but no one responded so I gave up on the idea. I still want to wet up a meet up as well before summer is over! (even if it will be a 2nd meet up for some of you)

I have been so busy working with movie pre production that will prob come out next year hopefully at a big screen near you!

Also running my mom's jewelry business and my Wrap business skin tightening and health, skin care products.. if anyone is interested let me know

Even if we can't have a huge reunion maybe a couple of us can get together for some coffee or ice tea?

Sherry, I don't want to push you out and about too fast, I didn't want to go be social the first week after surgery! So far it sounds like me and Skye can get together, with a Sherry-maybe. Any thoughts on where? I'm so used to planning restaurants for get-togethers, and that's a habit I should really get out of!! Maybe we can take this offline to regular email - if you're potentially interested in meeting in Schaumburg this Sunday, email me at katcrowder@gmail.com, and I'll put us all in an email discussion thread.

I was sleeved on 7/24 in Hobart. The first few days were rough. Once I got the JP out on Monday, I felt great! I am now on day 3 of full liquids, down 14lbs and so glad it's finally done!

Oh what a relief it is getting the drain out for sure. I am so glad to hear you are doing well Skowronski. If you ever decide to go to one of their group meetings, let me know. I went to one in the Munster office last ***ht. It was very good.
