support groups around Chicago

Hello IL Peeps !

I had RNY in 2005 and will be having a revision sometime in the next few months 

I am looking for support groups around Chicago west sub area and help would be appreciated 

Love to all 

Who is your doctor? Many doctors and/or hospitals will have support groups. For instance my doctor - Rosen and Mikhale from Lifeweigh Bariatrics in Downers Grove has a support group for their patients only.

Check into the Kane Center at either Alexian Brothers Medical Center (Elk Grove Village) or their sister hospital St Alexsis in Hoffman Estates. I think that Silver Cross Hospital has a support group and I am sure there are others. Elmhurst Memorial in Elmhurst is just starting a bariatric program.

Good luck to you. Keep us informed as to what is happening with you.

Thank you for your reply and support ! My doctor is Dr Fred Tiesenga They have support group next week But I was just looking for more to attend other times of the month . 

Thank you so very much for the above information I will def look into Elmhurst it is the closest one to me 

Peaceful day to you

Elmhurst is just starting up their program and have not done any surgery yet. My DH and I are good friends with the head of patient and food services.

Some support groups that are open to the public MAY have a small service fee to attend.

Ah Ha thank you ! I appreciate you !

Come and join us in the daily roll call! We love to meet new people.
