Hoping to connect with local sleevers

I had my sleeve done 8/31/15 at Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village through Suburban Surgical Care Center/The Kane Center

NW Burbs, waiting for insurance approval, sleeve will be done by Rantis

Dr Rantis did my sleeve! HE IS AMAZING!!!

There are a few of us on here. I am in Alsip on the far southwest side. My sleeve was done 12/23/2013 at Loyola University Medical Center. Where are you having your surgery? What part of this great metropolis are you in?

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.

Who was your doctor?

My Dr is Woody Denham at Evanston Hospital. It's been 9 weeks and I'm kind of stalled but I'm happy with the progress so far. Anyone interested in meeting?

Hi , Far western burbs here [emoji137]????. Pre op currently. Did anyone have surgery at Loyola ? How was your surgeon, and your experience?

The nurses at Alexian brothers in Elk Grove were amazing!!!! You'll be in great hands!

Do you add things to your shakes to make them more filling?

That is what I've heard. My buddy did bypass there in Feb. And he said the same thing about nurses. Yes, I do add frozen pineapple, banana, cooked beet's, yogurt, not for the taste, but to feel full. Honestly I cheated all two weeks, I had some grilled chicken breast, few slices of corn beef. Nothing serious, but men, it is hard.

I live in Brigeport and am hoping to have a gastric sleeve operation with Dr. Nagle at Northwestern Memorial downtown. Still in the early stages of the process.
