Hi is there anyone from the Chicago area on this site?:-) would love to chat with you guys?

NW burbs. In the process of getting band removed and VSG put in.

I am also in the NW burbs. I also used the Kane Center - Peter Rantis.

Yes, I had mine done at Evanston Hospital.

Doing my 6 month program at the UIC Bariatric Program with Dr. Chandra Hassan, anyone know of him or the UIC program in general?

I go to dr Vafa Shayani in Bolingbrook. STRONGLY RECOMMEND! He is AWESOME!

I did the UIC program. They were great! 3 years out next month. Southern suburbs.

I’m having mine at Loyola through their bariatrician program. Dr. Chand. Im hoping for early August. Finished with all the tests nutrition visits and psychology evaluation. Hello everyone!!

I know both quite intimately! He performed my surgery.

Were you satisfied with the service? I didn’t know much about him. I had to go with Loyola because of my insurance. Either that or UIC. My doctor at the time recommended Loyola

Had RNY on 6-18-18 with Dr. Rantis at the Kane center.

Felt very comfortable with the pre surgery process with all of them. My PCP is with a different medical group and has said that after being involved with my journey he is very impressed with the Kane center and plans on referring patients to them

I’m in the process of approval for RNY with Dr Wallace at the Kane Center. Just set up all of my appointments working toward a surgery date.

My sister had RNY thru the same group back in 2004 with excellent results!

Im in Chicago. I would love to connect as i desire to lose the last 25-35 pounds.

Hi Nycholle! I’m fighting off my last 30lbs with a Fatloss Camp in Chicago. It’s amazing! The workouts are fierce and the diet is clean, and there’s a ton of support and accountability. And - they provide a plan for maintenance, which is huge for me. Look up “Travis Garza Chicago” on Google- I'd share the link but not sure it’s allowed.
