M looking for someone in Illinois! I have not got a surgery date yet! My consultation is on Jan 15th.

Where in Illinois?

I live in Aurora Illinois. I am having my surgery in New Lenox which is close to Joliet! Are you in IL?

I am, I'm also in the western suburbs but closer to the city. Had my surgery in Chicago, close to Elmwood Park.

Oh cool!! When did you have your surgery? How are you doing?

I had surgery 10/24…and I'm doing great. I might have some Protein samples to get to you, the closer you get to your surgery. We can message about that if you would like.

Is the consultation in January your first step?

Oh thank you so much! My name is Stacie by the way!

So, how is your weigh loss coming? I am so glad you are doing great!!

I have all of my appts scheduled with all drs to get the ok for surgery the first half of Jan! My consultation with the bariatric dr is the 15th. I had to go to a seminar first. And then insurance was approved and now this is my 3rd step I guess you could say.

Oh, great! I had to do all the steps before approval; glad you have your approval!

I am happy so far with my loss. Bit of a stall the last two weeks, but overall I'm down 41 pounds. I'll take it!

Thanks! I'm excited! Did you have any nausea or the bad gas pains people keep talking about?

That's great you are down 41 lbs! Good for you!

Not really after the first day or so. They kept me hopped up on the anti-nausea stuff in the hospital and I haven't needed it since. I really got lucky with recovery!

I am from Northern Illinois, had surgery in Barrington. I grew up in Wheaton. I am 9 months out and would not change 1 thing! Hopefully you get a date soon!

That is so great to hear! I hope I'm as lucky!

Thanks so much! I hope I get a date soon too!

Illinois here. Surgery at Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village. Live near Hoffman Estates. Almost 13 months out and 101 lbs lost so far. Best decision I ever made besides marrying my husband. Even my husband brags about me and loves to show me off. I feel like a trophy wife now lol.

Wow Bunnyk! That is great! I love seeing results like yours. What did you start at If you don't mind me asking!
