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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
