Currently working with Loyola Center and Dr. Chand's group. Would love to hear any experiences with him. I think I've only seen one or two bits about him on this forum. Needing moderate hernia repair and was encouraged to get bypass.

This would be my third surgery as I have already been banded and had it removed due to erosion. Removal was 4 years ago. Pretty nervous about going through all this again....

Lutfi is excellent and I have found Kim to be very helpful as a nutritionist.

Have you gone to any of their meetings?

Sleeved 12/16 by Dr Marcotte at Loyola. Great experience. Nurses were wonderful and took great care of me. Dr Marcotte is great at listening and answering any questions I have.

Hey everyone!

New here. About to get sleeved in June! I would love to join a support group or just meet up with people casually in the area. I'm close to Evergreen Park but open to anywhere in the Chicago area as well. Where do you guys meet up? Let's plan something

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
