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.

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


Any Sleevies in Chicago?!!?! Perhaps we could start some kind of support group that hangs out now and then, like coffee or something? I'd love to get one started! Let's all be friends dangit!!!!!!!! :D
