Anyone in the Chicago area who had surgery or going to have surgery? I am going to be at Loyola hospital. I am scheduled to meet the bariatrician and the surgeon on Tuesday. Anyone familiar with that program? I am 41 and have been struggling with weight all my life. My highest weight is currently 290.

I had my sleeve done at silver cross in new lenox with BMI surgery. They are a center for excellence and I am very happy with them. I'm not a big fan of Loyola. Are they a center for excellence?

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
