Anyone in the Chicago area who had surgery or going to have surgery? I am going to be at Loyola hospital. I am scheduled to meet the bariatrician and the surgeon on Tuesday. Anyone familiar with that program? I am 41 and have been struggling with weight all my life. My highest weight is currently 290.

I had my sleeve done at silver cross in new lenox with BMI surgery. They are a center for excellence and I am very happy with them. I'm not a big fan of Loyola. Are they a center for excellence?

[lifsvr74 31]

Not sure if they are. I will research that. Thanks. My insurance finally approved and I want to get it done asap

The sooner the better that's for sure!

Good to hear you're knocking out all your pre-surgery requirements. Sounds like 2016 is going to be your year!
