HELP

Help appreciated

Will, Try New Self Bariatrics in Elk Grove Village. I had my surgery done in Nov. 2003, and after the approval they got from insurance, surgery was 11 days later (all pre-op was done while waiting for approval) and no down payment required. www.suburbansurgicalcare.com They used to be Suburban Surgical Care, now New Self. Hope they can help!!! Cara

Try University of Chicago Hospital (mentioned in Newsweek magazine as one of the top hospitals in the US ) 1-773-834-9974 choose option 2 and ask to speak to June, and explain your situation, I'm sure they can help. One of the bariatric surgeons Dr. Alvery & Dr Prachand

Will, Try Little Company of Mary Hospital in Orland Park, I believe. I remember someone saying that since they are a catholic hospital that they will make arrangements. Dr Cahill did my daughter's and friend's surgery.

Will look at my profile my surgeon is in the chicago area he's great, did my surgery laproscopically. I am not sure what your insurance covers but when I looked into this surgery I spoke with several surgeons before I found the one I wanted.. My brother who is a surgeon always says... if your not comfortable with a surgeon or center there's a reason.. so shop around find one that you are comfortable with.. yes we want our surgery asap but its worth the wait to find a surgeon you feel safe with...

Try Northwestern. Things happened so quickley. I had a friend at work who had simular problem with wish center. You health is the most important thing why deal with quacks. You want a place that is ethical. Good luck Donna hwt-341-pre lap-306-cwt-287

I can say I will never ever regret having Dr. Cahill from Little Company of Mary hospital do my surgery. (Midwest Bariatric: midwestbariatric.com) The program they have is awesome and unlike the wish center their is an after care (post surgery) program which is great. The entire staff at Dr. Cahill's office is wonderful and Dr. Cahill is a skilled surgeon. He specializes in bariatric surgery, but is also one of the top surgeon's in Illinois as rated by Chicago magazine. Dr. Cahill did my surgery and my sisters and is someone I know we can both know is ALWAYS looking out for your best interest. Please look up the Doc and if you decide to move forward with Dr. C and you want someone to talk to please email me and I'll be happy to continue to sing the praises of Dr. C and his staff. Good luck! Peg 10/03 -133 (at docs goal... almost to my personal goal)
