Dianne737 16 Posted June 20, 2018 Were you satisfied with the service? I didn’t know much about him. I had to go with Loyola because of my insurance. Either that or UIC. My doctor at the time recommended Loyola Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuaneW 2 Posted June 24, 2018 Had RNY on 6-18-18 with Dr. Rantis at the Kane center. Felt very comfortable with the pre surgery process with all of them. My PCP is with a different medical group and has said that after being involved with my journey he is very impressed with the Kane center and plans on referring patients to them Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 foxcblue reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaunaj1020 6 Posted June 26, 2018 I’m in the process of approval for RNY with Dr Wallace at the Kane Center. Just set up all of my appointments working toward a surgery date. My sister had RNY thru the same group back in 2004 with excellent results! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nycholle 1 Posted November 25, 2018 Im in Chicago. I would love to connect as i desire to lose the last 25-35 pounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foxcblue 21 Posted December 13, 2018 Hi Nycholle! I’m fighting off my last 30lbs with a Fatloss Camp in Chicago. It’s amazing! The workouts are fierce and the diet is clean, and there’s a ton of support and accountability. And - they provide a plan for maintenance, which is huge for me. Look up “Travis Garza Chicago” on Google- I'd share the link but not sure it’s allowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
