Sorry to be the annoying newbie with too many questions - but here goes:

Does anyone have a downtown Chicago (preferrably near NW hospital) female primary care doc who is wls friendly? Also every time you see wls do you think of the radio station?

Thanks in advance!

SORRY CANT HELP THERE.. Y DONT U CHECK WITH UR INSURANCE COMPANY (MEMBER SERVICES?) AND SEE IF THEY CAN HELP..

Hi Bettbo:

My PCP is Dr. Nancy Zamora. She is nearly downtown, on Halsted between Division and North. Close to the Kennedy, and parking is only $2.

1460 N. Halstead, Suite 202 Chicago IL

Phone: 77387144093

She is a doll. Pretty easy to get into, and VERY WLS friendly. She referred me to my surgeon and has had several patients who have had WLS so was really supportive, and helpful in getting the paperwork I needed for the insurance. I think she was more excited about my surgery than I was!

Good luck!

I talked to Stephanie a little while ago ... She said that I "should" have a answer anytime this week. I tried calling my insurance company... I got transferred and put on hold so many times. This is seriously driving me crazy...

I finally got through to my insurance company and they said that they cannot tell me anything because I am the client... WTH... So now I'm still waiting.. I know I've been rushing this but now I really need this to hurry... Kids are starting school soon and I go back to work soon as well and I won't be able to take any time off...

This is my first week back to work since surgery 6/3. Luckily my first two days I worked from home. Today is my first day in the office....not a bad day. My mom bought me a bday cake yesterday ( actual bday is 7/18 )she said she wanted to catch me in a good mood before returning to the office. Lol

I thanked her for the cake and then told her to take it to her house. She gave me a funny look. I was like " um thank you, but georgette can only have about a fork full of all of that yumminess."

It's quick how people forget that our eating habits have changed.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
