Sorry to be the annoying newbie with too many questions - but here goes:

Does anyone have a downtown Chicago (preferrably near NW hospital) female primary care doc who is wls friendly? Also every time you see wls do you think of the radio station?

Thanks in advance!

SORRY CANT HELP THERE.. Y DONT U CHECK WITH UR INSURANCE COMPANY (MEMBER SERVICES?) AND SEE IF THEY CAN HELP..

Hi Bettbo:

My PCP is Dr. Nancy Zamora. She is nearly downtown, on Halsted between Division and North. Close to the Kennedy, and parking is only $2.

1460 N. Halstead, Suite 202 Chicago IL

Phone: 77387144093

She is a doll. Pretty easy to get into, and VERY WLS friendly. She referred me to my surgeon and has had several patients who have had WLS so was really supportive, and helpful in getting the paperwork I needed for the insurance. I think she was more excited about my surgery than I was!

Good luck!

I talked to Stephanie a little while ago ... She said that I "should" have a answer anytime this week. I tried calling my insurance company... I got transferred and put on hold so many times. This is seriously driving me crazy...

I finally got through to my insurance company and they said that they cannot tell me anything because I am the client... WTH... So now I'm still waiting.. I know I've been rushing this but now I really need this to hurry... Kids are starting school soon and I go back to work soon as well and I won't be able to take any time off...

This is my first week back to work since surgery 6/3. Luckily my first two days I worked from home. Today is my first day in the office....not a bad day. My mom bought me a bday cake yesterday ( actual bday is 7/18 )she said she wanted to catch me in a good mood before returning to the office. Lol

I thanked her for the cake and then told her to take it to her house. She gave me a funny look. I was like " um thank you, but georgette can only have about a fork full of all of that yumminess."

It's quick how people forget that our eating habits have changed.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
