Dr. Horgan?? not sure of the spelling... everything iv'e read on this doc is great!

Hello La Madam-

I live in Chicago- and did a lot of research on surgeons- I had Dr. Horgan at the MIBC- they have a free info seminar to check out- I would highly recommend him and his staff- they have been great to me-

As I update my ticker.......down 25 lbs. since my surgery- 10 pre-op and 15 post up! Take care

I Am Going To The Peoria Surgical Group With Dr. Rossi, Dr Debord, Dr Marshall

I have heard good things about the Wish Center in Chicago, can take some parts of their seminar online, price I just received was $11,500 which is good. Still seeing if insurance will help with mine or self pay. Good luck to your friend!

Forgot to ask, what part of Illinios?

what doctors are preferable in chicago...i'm considering UIC please let me know

Dr Prachand & Dr Alverdy of University of Chicago Hospital...they are great

Siva1, which HMO are you using

Unicare HMO performance and i'm going to ask for dr. prachand or dr. alverdy to do my surgery..oh do you know how long this process will take for the doctors? if you do let me know.....

Loyola in Maywood has one of the best in the country, Dr Shyani trained all the doctors in this area, they brought him here to teach and train the new doctors. I had my band done 3 years ago and have lost 220+ He is really a great doctor, I have called him any whre in the world, day or night. He emails me, calls and folloes up on me still to this date! He also trained with Bio Genectics, which was the compnay from Sweden that vreated the band for all of US!
