Hello Illinois people. I'm in Chicago (the city)!!! I'd like to find a support group, the hospital where I had surgery has a support group that meets only once a month for their patients only.

Hi guys!

I've seen quite a few people post where they live ( I live in the southern suburbs, Glenwood Il ) but Has anyone actually formed a support group yet? I'm really interested.

I am in Winfield, IL. I notice a lot of DuPage county responses. There are some fantastic forest preserves in the area with covered shelters. Anyone from DuPage interested in setting a time to meet at one of the shelters for a support group? Im thinking Blackwell or McDowell woods. We can use the paths for some exercise after.

Hello Illinois people. I'm in the West Side of Chicago almost 6 months post-op! I'm still looking for WLS people to chat with, exchange thoughts, concerns, and even vent with in regards to our journey. Haven't found a group I can join locally; anybody know of one in Chicago?

Hey there! In the city too, Jefferson Park! Did you ever find a group in the city?? :)

I like little Little Company of Mary's groups. They have LapBand at 6pm and RnY/Sleeve at 7pm on the first Tuesday of the month. 2800 95th street in Evergreen Park. It's not my hospital, but there are many long term WLS patients at the RnY/Sleeve meeting. It's worth my hour drive to get there.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
