Hi - He is my new doctor and I have my first fill appointment with him on 3/14. I had my surgery done 8/07 in AZ and moved here to Chicago in October. I have been seeing Dr Vafa Shayani - until I found out he was not covered on my insurance plan. I am sad to have to see another new doctor - so I hope dr Denham will be good. Let me know how your appointment went!

I have heard Dr. Denham is the best around. I am currently going through the approval process. My suregon is going to be Dr. Watson out of Condell. What insurance do you have?

Hey Flower!

YES! Dr. Denhan is the best, just had my two week post op today, went well. I have Tricare Standard, hubby is military. Where do you live? A couple of bandsters who live locally get together often, Round Lake Lake Villa area. We'd love to have you join us! We all met at a monthly LapBand support group meeting at Vista Health Center In Lindenhurst. If you are interested, I can give you the info....do you have a surgery date yet?

Hello Timetobandme,

No I am still waiting for the office to send in my paperwork. They said they had a few emergency surgeries and would look it over in a couple of days. Well that was Wednesday. So I just sit here and wait. I am tired of waiting though. I am still going for weekly weigh-in's just in case Aetna wants a six month diet instead of a three like the say. I live in Lake Bluff. I would love to join the group.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
