While their pre-op program seems long at the time (3 months of practice diet, exercise, journaling, tests on heart, lungs, etc.) they do this to make sure your body can handle the surgery and also so that nobody enters into this lightly - this surgery is a big deal and should be treated that way. This requires an entire lifestyle change (for the better if you ask me). They were there for me before, during and after (even to this day) whenever I have questions, problems, etc. The other thing I liked about the WISH Center was that they specialize in the RNY surgery only. The Illinois office performs about 60 per month and that is ALL they do as opposed to going to a doctor who might only perform this surgery once or twice a year. <!--more--> Anyway, that's my two cents - I'd be happy to answer any other questions you have.
