If you had the DS in Illinios...

If you have had the DS surgery in Illinois....either as your first choice or as a revision....

please if you'd be so kind....let me know who your doctor was, give me the good, bad and the ugly...

let me know why did you go w/this surgeon...and how was his staff.

I am narrowing down my options right now and I'd like some input from anybody who's had the DS in Illinois!!

Thanks!!

I think you don't mean me...as I technically had mine in CA (Rabkin) and you and I have talked before.

Most Illinois DSers I know on OH and IRL who have had a DS do NOT hang out in the Illinois Forum, so they may not see your message. (Although I just have been PMing with a woman who had her DS in November with Dr. Rossi and lives in Canton, IL.) You may want to look at the DS Forum's "members" roster and look at each person's location and doctor and send them PMs with this question. It shouldn't take very long. Here is the link to all DS Forum members who have posted in the last year:

Good luck! I hope you get the answers you seek.

Hi, I had RNY, but my husband had DS at University of Chicago with Dr. Alverdy, and we really like him, great experience including a great bedside manner, which we honestly thought might be missing when you go to a university hospital.
