Looking for a Doctor in Chicago

[eyd 0]

I have PCOS and I am interested in lapband surgery I am looking for a doctor in Chicago.

I am terrified of the surgery. I already went to a seminar and the person who gave her testominal was rude and I do not want to go through them.

Instead of saying you'll be fine and if you stay at your current weight you will have other health related problems. She said you have a higher chance of being killed in a car accident.

I am in Chicago, and planning on the getting the lap band thru Day One Health. My surgeon is Dr. Jonathan Myers. He is a great guy. He is on staff at Rush Medical Center, where he also performs other WLS. From what I understand, he performs surgery at Day One only on Thursdays.

Can you tell me where you went to your seminar at? I went to the University of Chicago.

Joyouslyme, how would you rate the procedure at the University of Chicago? What did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?

I went to Day One Health off Michigan Ave in the City. They are great people, and I am comfortable with the doctor.

However, I want the procedure in January 2008. They told me that in order for insurance to cover it, I would need to show 6 months of weight loss attempts with WEIGHT WATCHERS.

Did you do this for your insurance company to approve you at Univ of Chicago?

Hi I was banded on 12/21/07 by Dr. Guske of the Kane Center out of Alexian Brothers. They offer a very comprehensive program and I was very impressed. I would highly recommend there services.

I will also be getting banded through the Kane Center out of Alexian Brothers. I have my initial appointment with Dr. Kane Jr. on Jan. 15th. Even though I had to schedule my appointment a month after the seminar, they got back to me within a week to let me know what portion of the surgery my insurance would pay. So far I've been very impressed with their team.

Dan you will be impressed with the Kane Center but I would suggest that you be proactive with your appointment schedule and try and get appointments from cancellations. This will shorten the process because there program is becoming very popular.
