Dr. Rantis ... suburban surgical care has a great team!

Suburban Surgical Care is awesome. Thats where my surgeon is from too.

Whenever i get approved, it'll be by Dr Guske at Alexian. Great surgeon, awesome bedside manner. Anyone have Northwest Suburban IPA? Any issues with them? The requirements for them are so lengthy, especially when my *** doesn't even ask for them, just the IPA.

i had gastric bypass with Dr. Kane at Alexian Bros. in Elk Grove. Dr. Kane provided excellent care. Alexian Bros.' nurses provided excellent care.

Hey people, I was sleeved at silver cross on 12/10. Things went fine but I'm having a hard time with the diet. Silver Cross offers support groups but that is a drive since I live in Chicago was wondering if there were a local hospital that offers support. I live in the medical district so I'm sure one of these hospitals have to. How are the post op'ers doing?

I'm interested in finding a support group in Chicago or within a drivable area. Surely there are more sleevers here! It seems like the support groups in the area are through the bariatric physicians who do them. I'm self-pay, Mexico.

Hello I'm from Chicago. I'm more than willing to help out in what I can. I'm nine months post op and -93lbs. I love my sleeve. I really don't go to my support group meetings at my surgeons office. I know shame on me, but I've went a few times and I just prefer to come here and ask away. Besides at the actual support group meetings a lot of people have had gb. So feel free to ask away.

I am using Dr. Bipan Chand at Loyola Hospital. Anyone else in the area? Does anyone know of any local support groups? Loyola offers them twice a month, but it's about an hour away from me so it's not convenient on week nights because I work full time.

Hi, I'm just outside of Huntley, not sure where you are. Centegra and St Alexius offer them. When is your surgery?

I'm in NW indiana and I'll be private pay. Has anyone been private pay and used a local Dr. to be sleeved?

I have done my info meeting, preop visit with Dr Heydari, psych eval, dietary visit, RN visit & am scheduled for preop classes at the beginning of April. I'm nervous & excited all at once!! They have a great support group through Centegra hospital but looking for support on this site too!
