Dr. Cahill....

Anyone else out there have Dr. Cahill as your surgeon.....I thought we could touch base and keep in touch.

I didn't end up going with him but was sure set to do so until the insurance wouldn't pay....I ended up with Dr. Frantzides of Evanston Northwestern Hospital. He is a great doctor though his done great work Tema

Hi Marcy, I had surgery 1/15/07 with Dr Cahill. My name is Joan. When did you have your surgery? How are you feeling? There is a support group meeting tommorrow night (Tuesday) at the Mary Potter Pavillion, perhaps we will see each other there. Good luck.

Hi....My surgery is actually April 19th. It would be nice to know how you are doing and such. I plan on attending the support groups after the surgery. What type of surgery did you have done and how are you doing??? I look forward to talking with you....Have a great day...Marcy

I had the lap RNY. It was the least painful surgery I've ever had. I do understand that some people have somewhat tough recoveries, but for me it was as if nothing at all had happened. I think it was because it was laparoscopic...all my other surgeries were open and nasty...so it was a piece of cake. I think Dr Cahill is an excellent surgeon, and the nurses at Little Company of Mary are outstanding...THAT is the way nursing is meant to be. It's been about 2 1/2 months for me, and I have lost 72 pounds. I never could have lost this on my own, and I tried so many times. I will say that I do feel hunger and the urge to graze. I thought that I would not feel hunger, as everyone on this website goes on and on about how they force themselves to eat. But to my disappointment, my head didn't have WLS, only my stomach did. Perhaps some brilliant neurosurgeon will fix that someday. If I can tell you anything else, just let me know. Best wishes, Joan
