Any Chicago/Illinois Sleevers/Bypass? Pre or Post Op

Hello,

I'm Tracey from Chicago, Looking for men/woman from Chicago or in Illinois... who are in the process of having the gastric sleeve/bypass or have already been sleeved/bypass. Its so hard trying to find people who are in the same mind frame as you, people who are changing their way of life. Where are you in your journey. I'm expect to have the gastric sleeve surgery the second week of September, no specific date yet... I have one more requirement that will not be completed until 8/18.

when is your first visit... that visit will be with your surgeon, nutritionist, psychiatrist, and his nurse... once they agree that your a suitable candidate you be put thur a series of test... depending on how fast you can get in and get those appointments will determine fast you can schedule surgery. I have one more test and I can schedule for the second week in September.
