Hi I am Jen and I live in Brookfield, Il. I am having my band put in on Sept 20th by Doctor Alexander Nagle @ Northwestern University Hospital with additional support from the Wellness Insitute. I HIGHLY reccomend using NWU Hosp. because the staff is really great with dealing with the insurance companies and their doctors are very well known and published in the subject, I went to Lap Band Centers on Michigan Ave. and was so turned off by the "factory" atmosphere it had. I get tons of personal attention from my team at NWU.
