As of June 20, 2017 I had gastric bypass at Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village, Illinois with Dr. James Kane as my surgeon.  His father started the Kane Center of Bariatric Excellence.

Since 2009 I’ve also used the Sparkpeople website during various attempts at weight management.  I am using it again to track my food for the rest of my life to ensure long-term nutrition needs are met.
