I dont now bout Carle Hospital...but I do know that several people from that area come here to Peoria for their surgery...Peoria Surgical group is amazing and we have a wonderful support system here. I will be heading to the hospital in a few mins to get my sleeve done by Dr. Marshal....

Hope this helps a bit!

Not sure if I'm doing this right as its my first post. I'm having my surgery at Carle in july. So far I have been very impressed with the program and all the members of the team that I will work with before, during, and after the surgery. I'm pretty critical so a "very impressed" from me is pretty high praise. My surgeon is Dr Rowitz.

Dr Rowitz is my Dr as well. So far everything has been going smoothly. I have all appts set up through November which is when we will schedule my surgery for.December.

Rowitz is my doctor, my surgery is 7/8. I like him, I think.

He is the doc I have looked at too. I did my research on him and so did a dear friend of me that is a doctor. Everything looks good and he was very nice at our meeting. So far I was amazed how quickly things have moved. I had my three of appointments done within 12 days. Im just waiting of the finial reports so we can set a date.

Following up, for anyone who searches the name Rowitz or Carle in here. My surgery went very smoothly and I recovered nicely and had a pretty smooth recovery. I'd recommend him.

This is great to hear. Mine will be on Sept 4th 10 weeks from first meeting him. The process for me has been extremely easy so far and with out a long wait.

I also saw Dr White. He was wonderful we were joking around in the meeting and he had an answer right away for me. This is one department at Carle I can say it's been great working with. You cant say that about every department at Carle.

I had a great meeting with Dr. Rowitz, back in May. I have to do the supervised diet for insurance company and the team at Carle is great at making sure everything that is needed to be done I s completed during that time. I am 2 months from completing my diet and then we will schedule surgery for December. At this point I have lost about 10 pounds on the diet

[Jenn Andes 4]

This has been a great week... almost to the end of the supervised diet.... down a pant size and got the approval from the psych consult... now to wait until Nov and we will schedule my surgery date.

At this point I have completed my journey down the yellow brick road. I have completed the 6 month supervised diet, the psych eval went great, and I have done the gross but needed barium swallow. NOW all I am waiting on is for the authorization to come through from insurance. SURGERY date is set for JAN 15th UNLESS they get an opening during Dec. At this point I have lost 25 lbs during the supervised diet. I started out at 349lbs and am currently down to 323 lbs. Not a big drop but a noticeable change.
