piercedqt78 did you go to Romeoville High School? My son is the same age as you. What a small world you also live in Romeoville, I to am a disney lover.lol How long did it take you to loose all of your weight. Soniacan, how far are you from Romeoville? Yes, getting together would be just great. My doctor has said nothing about testing me for a leak, I asked him if it was possible and he said no. But how would he know for sure if he did not take any test. Who did your surgeries. Thank you for writing me back it was nice to hear from someone so close. Yes i would love to get lunch, maybe the three of us could get together since we all live so close?

No I didn't go to Romeoville High. But I work for the district. I also have a child in the district. We moved here almost 2 years ago from Chicago Ridge. I had my surgery with Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross, love him. I lost the bulk of my weight the first 18 months. I have about 20 or 25 pounds to go. I'm pretty happy where I am now, so I really don't stress about it. I went from a 22-24 to a size 10-12 now. Sonia and I are meeting for lunch either tomorrow or sunday, what's good for you? ~Mandy

I am using Dr. Lutfi at Mercy hospital in Chicago. They are slower than all get out, but they are taking care of all of the paperwork. Has anyone had experience with him? My surgery is 4/8

My sister just moved to lindenhurst, and I would love to meet people too! Count me in!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
