Mine was performed by Dr. Linn at Evanston Hospital on December 20.

Do any NorthShore folks have the support group schedule for 2018?

I’m not a sleever but I am getting RNY in Chicago area, Hoffman Estates. I’m using Dr Rantis at the Kane Center. I’m from Peoria though, just using St Alexis because they are a Center Of Excellence.

It's located on their website, but I know it's the 3rd Thursday of each month at the Skokie Hospital.

Thanks, yeah, it was on my instructions from my last post-op visit. 1st Monday of the month in Vernon Hills and 3rd Thursday of the month in Skokie. I’ll probably go to the the Skokie meetings since I don’t feel like staying at work till it’s time to go to the meeting in VH.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
