DayOne Chicago Dr. Galvani



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Was anyone banded by Dr. Galvani at DayOne Health in Chicago? I was banded by him about a year ago. I had my last appt with him about two months back, and called in last week to schedule a check-up since I'm coming up on my one year anniversary in a couple weeks. They told me that he no longer worked there--I was shocked! Shouldn't they have contacted his patients and let us know this? I should have asked the receptionist for more information but I just made an appt with the doctor who is taking over. I see him next week, but this has really been bugging me.

Just wondering if anyone has more information on Dr. Galvani or advice/thoughts as to how to handle working with a new doctor.

Thanks!

Val

Hi Val,

Dr. Galvani was originally suppose to do my surgery. I'm not sure why he left but I'm guessing it was abrupt, becuase all of a sudden he just was not there anymore. Any way, I went with Dr. Myers and he's great. If you have to choose a Dr. there I would go with him.

Thanks Kimmy. They put me with Dr. Elli, and so far he is great. So weird that Galvani just "disappeared" though.

Another question: have you been to the support group there yet?

I have not been to any of the support groups yet. I would like to go, but my schedule just won't allow it.

      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.

      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!
