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.

Ladies for you who had your procedure done at University of Chicago how long before you received the email with preoperative requirements

a few days after you complete your final requirement. 8/18 was my final requirement, emailed Angela on the 21st, chose a surgery date on the 26th, and received confirmation email with preop appointments on 9/1.

I am waiting for the initial letter after first visit with surgeon, nurse, nut, and psych. Had first appt on August 26th

I am on my 2 week preop diet..3rd day I am very irritable, hungry, and have a headache. I thought I would do better but this is hell for me. Surgery is September 16th.
