Hey Guys - I'm almost 18 months post RNY and have been maintaining at my goal weight since April. I moved to Chicago (Lakeview) a few months ago and wonder if any of you are from the city? I've started looking for a good support group or friends in the area to help me stay on track - the holiday was pretty rough with all of the temptations, but I made it through pretty much unscathed. Any recommendations you have would be great!

Congratulations! I am from Chicago, but living in Texas. I have a couple of friends and family members who had the surgery currently living in Chicago. I can ask them where they went for support groups. Did you doctor's office give any recommendations or even have a support group available?

Hi, yes, I'm local. PM me if you like.

Welcome! Check with Illinois Masonic to see if they have a post-surgery support group. That hospital is in your neighborhood. The NorthShore network of hospitals definitely do, but they meet in Skokie and Vernon Hills.

Im in Chicago and really need some support to lose the last25-35 pounds. Help!

This is the GUYS ONLY ROOM.
Please respect that.

My apologizes, i had no idea. I did a search for the word Chicago and it brought me to this post. I am new to using this and had no idea.

If anyone can share who the Chicago surgeon was it might help me narrow down which surgeon to start my journey with...
