I'm from Danville. I haven't scheduled yet. I'm getting all my pre-testing finished next week. My surgery will be at New Lenex as well!

My surgery will be sometime before the new year. I haven't been told the date yet. When did you meet with the nutritionist? Before or after? Can you give me an idea about the line up of appointments? What things will I need to bring with me, and what things will I need to have when I get back home from surgery?

I had my sleeve surgery at St. Alexius in Hoffman Estates by Dr Rantis of the Kane Center. Everything went great. I am 5 weeks out and have already lost 22 lbs(50 lbs since pre surgery).

Hey there! I live in Schaumburg and a patient of Dr. Kane. I actually needed emergency gallbladder surgery and I got lucky and got him. Now I am looking into getting the gastric sleeve.

Getting the sleeve is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had no side-effects after the surgery and have lost 50 lbs. I could be losing faster if I was taking more care in what I ate but really loving life and now look how I've always felt.

      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.
