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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
