I am going to move ahead and get the info needed to start my own meetings. It seems as though moving about the suburbs would be advantageous. Maybe one meeting in glen Ellyn, one in geneva, one in Oakbrook etc so we can all benefit. I am willing to go the extra to get info and perhaps add value for us all.

Never mind that's the same practice my current doc is from. I asked to see another doc thinking I could switch since I am uncomfortable.Got told no even after explaining my concerns to the nurse. It was different before my slip last Aug and since my husband isn't going together anymore. Thanks anyway.

I am totally shocked that you cannot switch. I would call the practice manager. If you need my help let me know. I have been a patient for over 10 years. When I have a complaint I really voice my opinion. The office help has over the years gotten better but still unsavory at times. I have seen dr Kane and dr guske in moments of being overfilled and desperate for relief. Both are far from dr Rantis.

If you are totally against suburban surgical then I recommend dr vafa shayani. Oakbrook 630.990.2440 he has additional locations. I saw him last year for second opinion regarding having my band removed and replaced. He's brutally honest. He kept telling me I was eating too much lol! I would go back in a heart beat if dr Rantis is not available. I have an email ready for dr Rantis as I am unhappy with one of the nurses I has the unfortunate luck of the draw to see on Thursday.

I can tell you I have been through the ringer in the past 12 months and now feel I should share my experience to make sure no one has to feel as sick as I was or intimidated to ask questions. If you want private message me.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
