Where are my Sleevers? The ones that had it this year or are preparing or waiting on insurance approval. Where are you having it? Whose your doctor? How's it going so far? Anything you would like to share.

Lutfi doesn't do it anymore. Said it has higher chance of oncisional hernia than the approach with 5 incisions

*incisional hernia

I hope the other surgeon doesn't say that though...I'm 5 7

St.Joseph's does it but you have to be a particular height, according to my surgeon. He said I was too tall (5'7) for it.

Don't understand...... I'm 5'11 had mine done bye dr. Lufti in November...... Their team was great....

What do u mean.....

He knows his stuff....

It might also have to do with the fact that his instrumentation is getting fixed in Japan he said.

I'm going to go to the Kane Center seminar this morning and ask the doctors if they will do it. If they do, going with them. I just don't want the extra scars ????. And even though it's reaching, I'd love to b in a bikini again someday

My surgeon is Dr. Tiesenga, he was the one who stated that to me.

Hello all. My gastric sleeve was done 6/12/14 at UofC, with Dr..Alverty. Other than driving there from the northwest suburbs, I have been very happy with UofC. They have an open support group meeting first Tuesday of the month at 1 PM. I am looking for possibly a mentor or a more frequent support group.

Greetings Chicago and surrounding suburbanites! (I'm totally a lurker on this thread so apologies for no formal introduction!)

Mariano's has Premier Protein shakes on sale for $3.99 chocolate or vanilla. I went in there today at lunch (because I work by the one in the West Loop) and was pleasantly surprised at this cost savings. Not sure how long they are on sale but stock up!

I have an entire case of chocolate Premier Protein that I bought at costco last month. I had one and didn't like it. If anyone wants it and wants to drive to arlington heights to pick up, you can have it!

*shakes fist at sky* This is one of those times I regret never getting my license! Oh well!

Is anyone interested in getting together for a clothing exchange in the Chicago area? I have lots of 30/28/26 size clothes ready to go.

I too have a good amount of clothing in the 32/30 & 26/28 size ranges. I would be happy to sell these or do a swap.
