Also where in Illinois are you from I'm from the Quad Cities,, I had my lapband surgery at the OCC on March 1st 2007 and then I had a lower body lift at the Cosmed Clinic on Oct 21st 2008.

toughford Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I am from Havana area. Was told last week that my A1C was at 7 and hate to take pills.. I am starting to think real serious about OCC as I will be a self pay. Have been worried about local MDs doing fills will having the surgery done in Mexico. I was been researching WLS for about 2 years. At first it was just cosmetic reasoning, but now it is more medical reasoning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was been researching WLS for about 2 years. At first it was just cosmetic reasoning, but now it is more medical reasoning.. I live in northwest indiana. i go get my fills in illinois and the doctor has been awesome. the doctor does fills with x rays so you will know if everything is fine. you pay 150 to the doctor in cash and approx 100 for the xrays. like i said he is awesome, so you wouldnt have a problem getting a fill. i am getting ready to hit my one year with the band and i am so happy that i made the decision. Good Luck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolittle Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Was just wondering if anyone from Illinois had their surgery at OCC or Mexico in general. Also where in Illinois are you from I think "Fillcenters USA" opened a new place not that far from Havana IL. But,, I'm in the Quad cities and I drive across the state and go to either two places in the burbs of Chicago. One is in Downers Grove and the other is a mile away in Oakbrook. In Downers Grove,, you can get a fill with fluoro for around $250 and the place in Oakbrook, a blind fill for $95. My last 2 band adjustments were blind and they did a great job.
