Hi that's great!!! I am having a hard time with the clear liquid diet. But I'm not going to quit. I've gone too far in this journey.

From reading other posts they do have a stricter diet, but I'm glad to have you for a buddy. Have you been to their support groups in River Forest? I've been to my first one last month and I LOVED it!!!

Hello!!
Looking to network with any Chicago sleevers etc.. I'm getting my procedure at Rush Hospital with Dr. Phillip Omotosio. Let me know
Transformation



Dr O is awesome! I wanted him to do my sleeve, but insurance wouldn't cover him. I was sleeve 8/10 by Dr Wallace from the Kane center in Hoffman Estates.

Hi All!

I'm new to this site - planning to have my surgery before the end of the year at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downer's Grove, but an official date hasn't been decided yet. Would be super helpful to talk with people who know what I'm going through! Anyone in Chicago interested in meeting up as a group?

My wife and I would be interested. We are in Aurora, and both were sleeved. 3 and 2 months ago respectively.

My surgery is tomorrow Nov 6 at Northwestern Hosp. I live in the city - but always good to talk to local sleeved and talk thru things that come up!!






I hope your surgery went well, and you are feeling better. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
