Well you are a huge help to me... It seems as if I have more questions than answers at this point, but I am working on being more patient. 2 more weeks for my 3rd class and hopefully not too far from my 4th. I've even estimated the date of that lol. Guess I'm just an impatient person .

Hi!! I'm in Aurora! My surgery is next Monday!!! Having it done with Loyola at Gottlieb hospital!

So glad to have found someone. Which doctor is doing your surgery. And long was your process from start to finish.

My doctor is Dr.Chand. I began in February had tests done and all meetings with docs, physiologist, nutritionalist, then after all that my Blue cross denied me. I was so disappointed and then I Asked my primary doctor to help me appeal their decision which she did. I barely got my approval letter on Saturday!!! I was amazed and in awe!

So immediately called the doctors office this morning and they told me they have an opening next Monday for the surgery!!!! It happened so fast!

I went from thinking it wasn't going to happen to scheduling my pre-op and fasting immediately all in one day!

Are you going with Loyola as well?

you're truly blessed the fortunate to get your surgery I hope that your surgery and recovery goes fine please let me know if any updates on how everything goes

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site. I live in Richton Park. I just completed my 6 months with the nutritionist as BCBS requirements. I've met with my primary physician and notified him of my completion. Just waiting for my referral to the BCBS, then I hope and pray for the results of meeting with surgeon. I hope this process is not like the first 6 months.
