Felisity 1 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) 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....

junesleever 3 Posted May 18, 2016 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.
