I am going to move ahead and get the info needed to start my own meetings. It seems as though moving about the suburbs would be advantageous. Maybe one meeting in glen Ellyn, one in geneva, one in Oakbrook etc so we can all benefit. I am willing to go the extra to get info and perhaps add value for us all.

Never mind that's the same practice my current doc is from. I asked to see another doc thinking I could switch since I am uncomfortable.Got told no even after explaining my concerns to the nurse. It was different before my slip last Aug and since my husband isn't going together anymore. Thanks anyway.

I am totally shocked that you cannot switch. I would call the practice manager. If you need my help let me know. I have been a patient for over 10 years. When I have a complaint I really voice my opinion. The office help has over the years gotten better but still unsavory at times. I have seen dr Kane and dr guske in moments of being overfilled and desperate for relief. Both are far from dr Rantis.

If you are totally against suburban surgical then I recommend dr vafa shayani. Oakbrook 630.990.2440 he has additional locations. I saw him last year for second opinion regarding having my band removed and replaced. He's brutally honest. He kept telling me I was eating too much lol! I would go back in a heart beat if dr Rantis is not available. I have an email ready for dr Rantis as I am unhappy with one of the nurses I has the unfortunate luck of the draw to see on Thursday.

I can tell you I have been through the ringer in the past 12 months and now feel I should share my experience to make sure no one has to feel as sick as I was or intimidated to ask questions. If you want private message me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
