I am in the northwest suburbs , Geneva area. How is everything going for you? My surgery is October 16th at St. Alexius In hoffman Estates.

Hello everyone.

I had sleeve surgery last November 24, 2015 (Thanksgiving day) in Torrance, CA. My husband and I moved to Downers Grove, Illinois last May. The move was worked related and I was not ready to leave the support I had. I have kind of stalled out since the move. Prior to surgery I weighed 265 and now I'm 190. But I've been at this weight since June. Is there support groups in the area that hold regular post-op meetings? Or perhaps some of you would like to get together for lunch or dinner on a regular basis to discuss our goals and stumbles. I know I loose best with accountability.

For all of you University of Chicago patients, what did you think?

I have BcBs of Il and wonder what the time frame from my first appointment on December 21, 2016-surgery date will be. I had the sleep study done last summer. Chest X-ray and liver ultrasound done a month ago, along with lab work. I also have normal, to sometimes low, blood pressure, as well as no diabetes and low cholesterol. I feel like I have all my ducks in a row, but it's been over two weeks and I'm still waiting on a letter from them, entailing what they still need. I am so impatient!!

Happy New Year fellow sleevers. I'm currently waiting for approval from BCBS IL - paperwork was submitted this week - all of my clearances are complete. Hoping for a quick response - so I can get surgery scheduled ASAP. Getting sleeved by Dr. Joyce at Silver Cross in New Lenox. I feel like I've been jumping through hoops for the last five weeks - trying to get appointments with all the specialists and getting all the tests performed. Just joined this forum. - so far I'm finding it really helpful. Feeling that weird mix of scared and excited at the same time. Please feel free to offer helpful advice or information. Good luck to all.


Hey! Dr. Joyce did mine on 1-23-17. You can PM me if you have questions about the process or whatever.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
