A big shout out today to my surgeon, Dr. Fred Tiesenga for being absolutely amazing. He is so kind and caring. I would recommend him to ANYONE in the Chicago area looking to have this surgery done!

Sleeved May 30Th.. In So Much Pain.
CatalinaK posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have never had gas pain/heartburn like this. Any suggestions? I am already taking reglan and zofran. I cannot lie down flat without an extreme pain in my chest. Any advice would be appreciated! -
Sleeved May 30Th.. In So Much Pain.
CatalinaK replied to CatalinaK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm glad I wasn't the only person who felt this pain. I am a little over 3 weeks post op now and doing so much better. Thanks for your kind words! -
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond to everyone! I had my sleeve and had a little bit of trouble with my recovery.. I would like to talk to ALL OF YOU! I don't care if you're grandmas or live far away. I live on the far north side of Chicago, basically almost in Skokie. Please feel free to send me a friend request and good luck to each and every one of you!

I couldn't wait the 3 weeks my doctor told me to hold off from having sex. I have been off my birth control pill because it was making me sick. Has anyone ever taken the morning after pill with the sleeve? I just ordered it from my pharmacy and am freaking out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Day 5 Of 14 Of The All Liquid Diet....
CatalinaK replied to madisonPA's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mina, I am in the same boat. Well, sort of. I am on my 5 day pre-op diet. Today is day 3. I am holding up well. Aunt Flo decided she wanted to come early so I am craving chocolate hardcore. What protein drink are you using? I haven't been using any so far and I do feel fine but my doctor warned me to start taking something asap. -
Surgery Date May 30Th. Started Pre-Op Clear Liquid Diet Today.
CatalinaK posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is my first post ever. My surgery is 5 days away and I am terrified. I am also quite hungry and very emotional. I truly believe this margarita flavored crystal light is the only reason my husband is still breathing. I am such a mess! I really need some support here. I am from the Chicagoland area. Please, someone, hear me. Tell me this is going to be okay.. -
I'm from Chicago! My surgery is this coming Wednesday, the 30th. I have Dr. Tiesenga. Any one else near the Oak Park/Elmwood Park area?

I have my surgery scheduled for this coming Wednesday, May 30th. Looking for some Chicago or Chicagoland sleeve buddies! I am almost 25 years old and would love to meet some people my age going through the same thing!
