Update on my consult
I went to my consult in Dekalb yesterday first I had problems getting sign in because my public aid card wasn't from Dekalb. So they were going tell me pay out of pocket. Then I go in see the Dr and he said that I'm to big for him do surgerie on. I need to lose 82lb before he'll do surgerie. So what should I do. Should I find other Dr.
Thanks Ruth
Thanks for answering. After the information pack sent and everything, I wonder why they would try to not want to take a med card from another city. CRAZY because I am not in Dekalb and have a consult on Monday.
They have my address and everything but said NOTHING about not wanting to take a med card from another town and I'm even further away than Rockford.

Ooops writing more.
You might want to try Dr. Tiesenga in River Forest.
He takes a medical Card.
For more information you can e-mail me. Also I'm sure
Biscuit Joiner would give you information on this clinic.
New Hope Surgical.
Good luck in your journey....Don't give up, I've been approved a couple
years ago and still on the journey,
Blessings,

Hi Ruth!
I'm sorry you had such a crappy experience with them. I know they are new to the whole surgery thing so this is a learning experience for them also. Hasn't that doctor only done like 20 surgeries?
Anywya, I recommend Dr. Fred Tiesenga out of New Hope Surgical (wwwdotnewhopesurgicaldotcom)
He takes public aid and they are very thorough and helpful.
