I had my surgery at Mercy, and I tell you, you will be sorry later. The aftercare and follow-up is horrible. You will find that you are just a number, and if you are a public aid patient, you will only get appointments once a month. They do fills in small increments instead of how restricted you are because they only get paid for one visit a month through public aid. I would go to the University, because once you have your surgery somewhere, other surgeons will not take you on as a patient because they consider it a liability. They don't want to take on someone else's surgery patient and rightfully so. Mercy has been the worst experience in the Chicagoland area that I have heard of. Some won't speak of it because of fear that the clinic will drop them.

Good luck and prayers.

i just had the surgery 11-6-09 and it was not that bad , i just did not like when i went for a x ray the person who took me was very rude he just pushed me down there didn't say a word , he didn't say someone will be with you in a minute. It took him darn near a hour to come back and get me. Every one else was OK . I didnt expect more from Chicago hospitals they are over crowed , and i barely never had good service from most of the hospitals because of it being overcrowded when i lived there. But they call you at lap band and if you have a problem you can go see them. the appointments are once a month but you can go see them if you have a problems anytime they stress that a hundred times. THEY WERE EXTREMELY NICE TO ME TOO

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
