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

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!

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!

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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
