Chigoe girl, I am looking into that clinic as soon as I get my med records from NY. I work across from Union, are they close to there?

U of c is in Hyde Park. On 57th and Drexel. It is kind of out of the way, but the good thing is they do all the consults in one day, that does not include any testing you may need. So your psych, dietician, and surgeon consult all in in one day, which really saves a lot of time.

Hello ladies :) I used Dr. Rantis (the Kane center) for my sleeve and he did an awesome job!! I love that doctor and that group...I originally was going to go with the Lapband but I had a talk with Rantis and here I am sleeved! I do not regret it at all! I'm 3 wks post op (yesterday) and am down 27 lbs. I would look into the Kane center if you are from the Chicagoland/suburbs area...they are GREAT & treat you with respect.

I am scheduled to have VSG on June 3rd with Dr. Hungness at Northwestern Hospital. He has a great personality and friendly bedside manner. He is skilled in advanced laparoscopic procedures.

I totally agree. He is a 5 star Surgeon. And a nice personality to match.

Good luck to you

I'm having my surgery done at Highland Park Hospital (NorthShore University Healthsystem) by Dr. Ervin(Woody) Denham.

He has preformed surgery on 4 of my personal friends with outstanding results. The entire staff is wonderful!

I'm having the surgery at Glenbrook Hospital and Dr. Denham is my surgeon, also! You're right--his whole staff is great! I am doing the medically supervised weight loss with Liz (nurse and bariatric coordinator) and she has helped me so much!

Good luck to you and keep me posted on your progress. 6 more days of pre-op diet for me and then this bird will start losing her stuffing! ????

I decided on Dr. Lutfi I did alot of research an he's the best (not one bad review) an he teaches other dr's around the US on how to preform the surgery thru in incision. I'm glad I found him :)

Dr Lutfi was my surgeon. Love him. And his team. St Joseph hospital staff is great too. Very experienced, professional and nice.

Good luck on your journey. Hope to see you in the post op group soon.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
