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!

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
