Hello Everyone! I was banded 6/30/08 at Mercy Hospital in Chicago, IL Dr. Rami Lufti. The staff there is very nice.

Thanks to Jeni,

I too had my surgery performed by Dr. Shayani at St. James Bariatric Center in Olympia Fields, IL last week Sept. 2nd, 2008. It was by far the best decision I've made regarding my health in a long time. There was practically no pain, just some discomfort. My incisions look like a series of 5 paper cuts,with the exception of the port site -it is the longest and deepest cut.

I've lost 15lbs. since my starting weight 1 month ago. This included the 2 week pre-op diet and the 1 week post op check today! I'm so excited but hungry now - no fill scheduled for 6 weeks by Dr. Shayani.

He is absolutely amazing -the best bed-side-manner you've ever encountered! I highly recommend him.

I was banded at Alexian Brothers in Hoffman Estates. Dr. Kane....part of Suburban Surgical Care. They are awesome.

I was banded at Mercy when they first started about 2 years ago. However, the original doctor has since left, Dr. Bonomo. I feel that they have grown by leaps and bounds with patients. They have lost the personal touch that they use to have. The wait for a fill can be hours. I feel if you have not heard from a patient in months then you should have someone to follow-up on their patients. These are my opinions.

i agree with the post regarding dayone health. i chose dayone because i work in oak brook and live in dyer, in. they have an office in oak brook and merrillville, in. went to their seminar had the surgery 8/07. my surgeon was shayani who has since left dayone. since shayani left a dr. woodard is supposed to be doing fills in the oak brook office, but unless he gets more than a few people coming in on the day he chooses, he'll cancel on you. then to go downtown i've been told that just one of the surgeons there accepts united healthcare and he only fills on mon. and tues. from 9 til 2:30pm. don't know about anyone else, but i cannot afford to take off work to drive downtown. the reason i chose dayone was their locations and what i thought seemed like a good customer service, but i was terribly, terribly wrong. they've pretty much given me THEIR availability and told me to choose. when i did mention that i may have to look for another place, they told me that i just may have to do that. no bending for me WHAT SO EVER! plus when i was getting my fills with shayani, no co pay and never received a bill, i saw dr. woodard just to meet him, was charged co-pay and just got a statement re: the office visit. per dayone, dr. woodard is his own co. and bills himself. sorry so long, but had even more problems with dayone, hope any new people get to read this before choosing a surgeon.
