i agree with the post regarding dayone health. i chose dayone because i work in oak brook and live in dyer, in. they have an office in oak brook and merrillville, in. went to their seminar had the surgery 8/07. my surgeon was shayani who has since left dayone. since shayani left a dr. woodard is supposed to be doing fills in the oak brook office, but unless he gets more than a few people coming in on the day he chooses, he'll cancel on you. then to go downtown i've been told that just one of the surgeons there accepts united healthcare and he only fills on mon. and tues. from 9 til 2:30pm. don't know about anyone else, but i cannot afford to take off work to drive downtown. the reason i chose dayone was their locations and what i thought seemed like a good customer service, but i was terribly, terribly wrong. they've pretty much given me THEIR availability and told me to choose. when i did mention that i may have to look for another place, they told me that i just may have to do that. no bending for me WHAT SO EVER! plus when i was getting my fills with shayani, no co pay and never received a bill, i saw dr. woodard just to meet him, was charged co-pay and just got a statement re: the office visit. per dayone, dr. woodard is his own co. and bills himself. sorry so long, but had even more problems with dayone, hope any new people get to read this before choosing a surgeon.

I was banded at Alexian Bros by the Suburban Surgical Team. I had Dr Guske. He is a great guy, good sense of humor and very supportive. All of those things are of importance to me. I wanted a Dr I could talk to. He also operates out of St Alexius in Hoffman Estates Il. Godd luck everyone! If you can get through the pre-testing, you can do ANYTHING!!!
