Welp! After all the research, obsessive reading, video-watching, and real-life connections, hubby and I have BOTH decided that we are going to use Dr. Illan. We will have to each go separately for childcare reasons, but from everything I have read, going alone is not that bad. Going to pay our deposits in the next couple of days then BOOK A DATE!!! Eeeeeep!!! It feels so good to say EFF YOU, insurance red tape. LOL!! All encouragement and first hand experiences welcome!!

You will be in very good hands. I told my GI doctor it was like a vacation and she added "and you get skinny".

Good for U2, im going thru the insurance, considering they are paying 99% of it. I have to do the 6mos diet but I only have 2mos to go. Again, good for U2, wish you the best.

Congrats on your decision! That's always a big hurdle. Don't worry at all about going alone. You will be well taken care of from the airport all the way through. I was actually really glad I went alone. Didn't have to worry about anyone but myself. When you have a companion, it's common to feel obligated to entertain them or take care of them,
