Hi Jeni,

Do you know where I could reach Dr. Shayani now? He's not at Loyola or

Day One Health - but he is on my insurance in network doctor's list.

Let me know as soon as you can. Thanks.

Thanks to Jeni,

I too had my surgery performed by Dr. Shayani at St. James Bariatric Center in Olympia Fields, IL last week Sept. 2nd, 2008. It was by far the best decision I've made regarding my health in a long time. There was practically no pain, just some discomfort. My incisions look like a series of 5 paper cuts,with the exception of the port site -it is the longest and deepest cut.

I've lost 15lbs. since my starting weight 1 month ago. This included the 2 week pre-op diet and the 1 week post op check today! I'm so excited but hungry now - no fill scheduled for 6 weeks by Dr. Shayani.

He is absolutely amazing -the best bed-side-manner you've ever encountered! I highly recommend him.

I was banded at Mercy when they first started about 2 years ago. However, the original doctor has since left, Dr. Bonomo. I feel that they have grown by leaps and bounds with patients. They have lost the personal touch that they use to have. The wait for a fill can be hours. I feel if you have not heard from a patient in months then you should have someone to follow-up on their patients. These are my opinions.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
