Hello La Madam-

I live in Chicago- and did a lot of research on surgeons- I had Dr. Horgan at the MIBC- they have a free info seminar to check out- I would highly recommend him and his staff- they have been great to me-

As I update my ticker.......down 25 lbs. since my surgery- 10 pre-op and 15 post up! Take care

I have heard good things about the Wish Center in Chicago, can take some parts of their seminar online, price I just received was $11,500 which is good. Still seeing if insurance will help with mine or self pay. Good luck to your friend!

Loyola in Maywood has one of the best in the country, Dr Shyani trained all the doctors in this area, they brought him here to teach and train the new doctors. I had my band done 3 years ago and have lost 220+ He is really a great doctor, I have called him any whre in the world, day or night. He emails me, calls and folloes up on me still to this date! He also trained with Bio Genectics, which was the compnay from Sweden that vreated the band for all of US!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
