Hi- I'm in the SW suburbs of Chicago. I had my surgery done at Bolingbrook Hospital. Where are you planning on having your surgery? I'm 6 weeks out and had my first fill today. So far I'm down 29lbs. I'm thrilled with my decision.

Best of luck!

I had mine done in Oakbrook with Brad Watkins.. Best decision I have ever made. Im down over 40lbs since July. I had surgery at end of August. Ive had about 4 fills and feel awesome right now at 8.5 cc. I get full fast and stay full for a long time. somewhere around 4-5 hours. :(.

I live in the near west suburbs and was banded 4/15. No regrets and down 80 pounds from my high pre-op diet weight. Dr. Fred Tiesenga did my surgery.

I had my banding done by Brian Lahmann at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet 10 months ago. I'm down just over 90 pounds, and couldn't be happier with the decision, or my band.

Hey there, I'm a Chicago South Suburban gal :thumbup: I will be banded on November 29th at Rush Univ Med Center. Dr. Myers is my surgeon. The journey has been about a year so far and have learned so much and am ready for this! Good luck to you!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.
