Dr. Enrique Fernando Elli - Starting out in Chicago



Recommended Posts

I have a consultation on 2/25/11 (the only day i could get off work) through Day One Health, here in Chicago with Dr Enrique Elli but i cant seem to find any reviews on this doctor. Has anyone ever used this doctor? I havent had a physical in a while, should I have a physical, pap, etc now, while waiting for my consult appointment?

Hi - I just had my lap band surgery with Dr. Elli on 1/17/11 - and i saw him on Friday for a follow-up. I have had a very positive experience with Dr. Elli and his staff as well. I didn't want to miss a lot of work or have to stay in the hospital - so Day One was the perfect choice for me. It will be one week tomorrow - i am having normal stuff like soreness at the port site and a little nausea. Overall, i am progressing well. Day One has a monthly support group too on Tuesday evenings - it might be a good idea to attend to get more feedback from his patients. I have to say that I have been impressed and very pleased with Dr. Elli and his staff - you will have to deal with his staff as well! Good luck - I support you -

Thanks so much for the response! I was hoping some one would respond.

May I ask you, was he the only doctor you consulted with? How long did it take you from consult to surgery. i have a lot of time to think about this so Im keeping a list of questions, but more keep coming up... LOL!

Thanks,

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
