I Need A Chicago Doctor



Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

I'm not too happy with my current doctor, he is not a big supporter of the band, he is more into RNY...

Plus, he is very far from me now...

I haven't had a fill for a while due to esophagus dilation... but I must get back on track...

I will pay for my own fills... I'm looking for a doctor that could give me my fills and a doctor that is supportive of the band and his band patients , encouraging, and helpful and/or with a helpful band oriented staff.

I live in Chicago, I could go to the suburbs as well..

Thank you so muchhelp.gif

Hi Kim,

I am also being banded by Dr Cahill next month. A friend of mine from work was banded by him about 5 months ago. She had nothing but good things to say about him and his staff.

When is your surgery date? Or have you already been banded?

I also would have had Dr. Cahill but got my denial for consulation for lap band yesterday. They said my 39 bmi high clesrtol arthritis and sleep apena aren't life threating enough This sucks after doing a year of dietition visits what a waist of my time.

Hi Kim,

As a doctor I trust him 150%, I just didn't get enough support for the band, since the beginning, he leaned towards RNY and I just don't feel like he really likes the band, but this is just my opinion... his staff is nice...but they couldn't help me with the fills any longer...:girl_hug:

Hi there,

As a doctor I trust him 150%, I just didn't get enough support for the band, since the beginning, he leaned towards RNY since day one and I just don't feel like he really likes the band that much, but this is just my opinion... his staff is nice...but they couldn't help me with the fills any longer, I was banded 2 years ago... got esophagus dilation about a year ago and then the new insurance doesn't cover the fills and well, it hasn't been a good year for me, but again, as a doctor, I think he is excellent...

BTW, my middle name stands for Marie!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
