Chigoe girl, I am looking into that clinic as soon as I get my med records from NY. I work across from Union, are they close to there?

U of c is in Hyde Park. On 57th and Drexel. It is kind of out of the way, but the good thing is they do all the consults in one day, that does not include any testing you may need. So your psych, dietician, and surgeon consult all in in one day, which really saves a lot of time.

Hello ladies I used Dr. Rantis (the Kane center) for my sleeve and he did an awesome job!! I love that doctor and that group...I originally was going to go with the Lapband but I had a talk with Rantis and here I am sleeved! I do not regret it at all! I'm 3 wks post op (yesterday) and am down 27 lbs. I would look into the Kane center if you are from the Chicagoland/suburbs area...they are GREAT & treat you with respect.

Hi check out my profile. Dr. Hungness all the way at Northwestern. He is the Best.

I had such a great experience it was like a medical Spa.

I am scheduled to have VSG on June 3rd with Dr. Hungness at Northwestern Hospital. He has a great personality and friendly bedside manner. He is skilled in advanced laparoscopic procedures.

I totally agree. He is a 5 star Surgeon. And a nice personality to match.

Good luck to you

I'm having my surgery done at Highland Park Hospital (NorthShore University Healthsystem) by Dr. Ervin(Woody) Denham.

He has preformed surgery on 4 of my personal friends with outstanding results. The entire staff is wonderful!

I'm having the surgery at Glenbrook Hospital and Dr. Denham is my surgeon, also! You're right--his whole staff is great! I am doing the medically supervised weight loss with Liz (nurse and bariatric coordinator) and she has helped me so much!

Good luck to you and keep me posted on your progress. 6 more days of pre-op diet for me and then this bird will start losing her stuffing! ????

I decided on Dr. Lutfi I did alot of research an he's the best (not one bad review) an he teaches other dr's around the US on how to preform the surgery thru in incision. I'm glad I found him

Dr Lutfi was my surgeon. Love him. And his team. St Joseph hospital staff is great too. Very experienced, professional and nice.

Good luck on your journey. Hope to see you in the post op group soon.
