Looking for a Windy City Sleeve Buddy



Recommended Posts

Hey,

I'm a Chicagoan looking for someone to go through this process. I'm post Op (2 days) and haven't received a ton of research or support from anywhere. I'm all about the success of this endeavor, if you are about successful weight loss and education just let me know!

Hey there! I am from Alsip on the South Side, but have not had my sleeve yet. I am three weeks into a 12 week preparation program. Coming up is the Psychologist appointment - never been to one. How was it? My surgery will be at Loyola's Gottlieb Hospital. I guess Advocate in Oak Lawn does not do it, or my primary would have sent me there. I am retired from Federal Service at the Jesse Brown Veteran's Hospital.

Hi and Good Luck on this journey! The psychologist appointment is interesting. The main point is they're trying to make sure that you are mentally certain and stable for such a change in your life. Most of my support and health services are out west, but I do live south. Keep me involved with how everything is turning out!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
