Has anyone had lap band surgery at Mercy hospital in Chicago by Dr Rami Lufi or Dr Phillip Rosett? Im being banded on May 1st. If anyone has any info on Mercy hospital please share... Im very nervous!! :crying:

Well, I go to the University of Chicago, New Hope program.

I'm a minor getting the surgery.

But the people where I go, are trying to convince my mom into getting the band, and they speak HIGHLY good of Mercy in Chicago.

So If they think they're good, I think it's good too.

oh wow thanks for the info. my daugther is 15 and i wouldl like to get her into the new hope program. can you give me all the information?

Hi i had the surgery with Dr Rosett and he is the greatest. He has a great sense of humor and he tries to make you feel comfortable as possible. The only down side about my experience is that they do not like telling people the amount of fill they're putting in the band because a lot of people comapare each other. I really don't agree with this but i don't want to cause any trouble. So if your not a stickler about that then thats fine. Ohh and another thing if your not loosing weight don't hesitate to let them know. good luck
