FlyFatA$$Fly 155 Posted August 28, 2017 Hello!! Looking to network with any Chicago sleevers etc.. I'm getting my procedure at Rush Hospital with Dr. Phillip Omotosio. Let me knowTransformationDr O is awesome! I wanted him to do my sleeve, but insurance wouldn't cover him. I was sleeve 8/10 by Dr Wallace from the Kane center in Hoffman Estates.

bogglesauce 238 Posted October 17, 2017 Hi All! I'm new to this site - planning to have my surgery before the end of the year at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downer's Grove, but an official date hasn't been decided yet. Would be super helpful to talk with people who know what I'm going through! Anyone in Chicago interested in meeting up as a group? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
