There are no docs in Rockford itself. We went to Madison to the UW program which is a Center of Excellence and a fabulous program. That is what I would suggest. There are a couple of programs closer but they are not Centers of Excellence which really helps with insurance coverage.

we have a support group in Rockford for pre and post surgery folks which meets on the third Monday of each month at the College of MEdicine, 1601 Parkview in Room S-232. The next meeting is March 16. For more info you can send me a message.

I live outside of Rockford but I'm going through Univeristy of Chicago.  They are also a Center of Excellence.

Are you going to the Kane Center in Arlington Heights? My husband had his surgery with Dr Rantis from that group.

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

Oops, I forgot to answer you main question.
I also went to Madison to Drs. Garren & Gould.  Their program is awesome.
My best advise is to attend each doctor's seminar that you are interested in.  That way, you can get a feel for where you will be comfortable.  It is a very personal decision for each of us.

Brandie I went to Dr. Amir Heydari in Woodstock....which is not too too far from Rockford. It is through Centegra Hospital and I have to tell you he is wonderful and so is the whole program. My stay in the hospital was superb and the staff are so helpful.  They have an informational session that they give once a month their phone is on their website....www.centegra.org.  The most important thing is to find a doctor you are comfortable with.  Good luck to you!
