Wanting to speak with people from my area!

I'm from southern Illinois, but I've just started the process. Still waiting on insurance. Have you had it done yet?

Im from southern illinois too! I have my first round of appts this friday! Where u having urs done?

I am from Southern Illinois. I was wanting to have my surgery in Herrin but being self employed & no Ins. the private pay fee here is way more than I can afford so I am going Oct. 25 to Mexico to Dr.Lopez & Dr.Osana.

If all goes well it will be at Des Peres in St. Louis

Im planning on SSM De Paul in St Louis with Dr Morales.

My sister had her RNY in 2009 at SSM DePaul. It was a great place. I cant remember who her surgeon was off had but I went with her & was very happy with the place.

Im so excited to get this started but so nervous as well. Im worried that i might have too much scar tissue for them to perform this lap. Im hopeful though. I was could go to Herrin in town here but because i might be a more difficult case, i chose St Louis... had a co worker go there she loved it!

I'm close to you. I'm in Cape Girardeau MO. I've started the process with a doc in St Loius, and I really like him. But I would be self pay. My insurance is starting coverage next year, but only at the hospital I work at. I'm going to schedule an appt with the local doc, then make my decision.

Im going to be using herrin, il im too just getting. Started go to seminar on 9/24 nervous and excited to get this started... scared im gonna chicken out
