Anyone in Chicago & used UIC Bariatric program?

My consultation with Dr. Gangemi at UIC, and I’ll be starting the 6 month process in January. Anyone have experiences at UIC that they wish to share? Complications? Recommendations? TIA!

    I had surgery at UIC with Dr. Hassan in May 2017. Great experience all around, if you show them you’re committed and serious about taking this step then it will be smooth sailing. Everyone works together as a team. DM if you have any further questions! Best of luck.
