I don't know why, but I never looked around for other clinics, especially those closer to me. Chicago's 45 minutes away but expensive since I pay for tolls and parking. I think it's because I read a Graham Elliot article on how he had his surgery at the UoC and that was it for me. Where did you have yours done?

Through Memorial Hospital's bariatric program. Their office is technically in Granger, but it's right around the corner from UP mall.

I actually did think of them but never looked further. Did you have to do a liquid diet before and after? My program doesn't require one. They want us patients to eat like we would eat for the sleeve, Protein and low carb, no sugar. Even though after the surgery, the doctor said I can eat soft foods, I'm sure I'll be sticking to Protein Shakes until I get the hang of it. I'm so scared of taking that first drink or bite, and it hurting my stomach. Did it ever hurt to drink or eat initially after surgery?
