Hi everyone. I really love this site. I have learned so much and find so much comfort from all of you. thanks. what I was wondering is if anyone here has had their surgery at the illinois wish center? I am thinking that is where I want to get my band. I would like to know if it was a comfortable experience. hope someone has some info. thanks.

I am using The Wish Center in San Antonio. I am a self pay, so you gotta do what you gotta do. They are charging $10,700 right now.

I have read alot of their reviews, not all are good. No complaints about the surgeons capabilities, though, and I feel like that is the most important factor for me.

They received their $$ today, so I am going in Monday for my first visit. I will post once surgery is done to update you on how much, or how little I liked the center.

Best of luck to you!

I am looking into it as well in Illinois - not too many people out there from IL I guess...

I talked to Barix Clinics in Belvidere and they are $13900. with financing available from a third party.

I have a friend who had her RNY there and has lots of nice things to say about them.

I also have another friend who had her RNY at the Wish Center in IL and while she said her care was good - it cost her more out of pocket than my other friend and we all work together so had the same benefits.

Good luck - maybe we should stay in touch since we're both in IL!

What part of the state are you in?

Anyone know much about the wishcenter in Seattle, WA? I'm about to get banded in Mexico but wondered if they'd do fills and what cost would be.

Thanks
