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?

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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
