Anyone in forum land that has had their surgery in Herrin il?

I am from here in So. IL. I went to a group seminar Dr. Ahuja was having for anyone wanting to have surgery with him. He is very REAL about what it take to lose weight & getting yourself mentally prepared. The only reason I am not using Dr. Ahuja is the cost difference between here & Mexico. I am self pay & self employed making it hard to come up with more money.

My sister had an RNY in 2009 & she is the one who told me about Dr. Ahuja doing the sleeve. It was fairly new a few years back when I went to learn more & Dr. Ahuja was new to the area at that time. I have only heard great things about him. Many people my sister work with have went to him for follow up since he closer than doctors they used in St. Louis & beyond.

Dont know if this helps or not.
