Hi Lori,

I just thought I would add that you might look into Peoria Surgical Group/OSF St Francis in Peoria. They are a very talented group of doctors, and I know at least one of the surgeons has started doing the DS (not sure how many they have done), but after you research your options you choose to do the RNY they also do them there.

I used to work in the surgery dept at St Francis and am very familiar with them. The Bariatric Nursing Coordinator there is also a personal friend of mine--she is wonderful! Best of luck to you!
