Hi Elizabeth My name is Kim and I live in Antioch Ill. I was looking up Dr. Frantzides profile. It sounds like you really like him. I understand you have medicade through the state of Ill. I also have this insurance and it is hard to find a Dr. who will accept it. May I ask what was covered and what wasn't. I am a single mother with not a very big income. I am 37 and about 350 pounds. I am not use to this much weight and it has changed my life considerable. It's not easy when you have an energenic 9 year old. I am thinking about having the lap band surgery. I am hoping this Dr. does this type of surgery and of course the insurance. I hope to hear from you. I would love to hear any feed back . Kim

Your big day is almost here, this is the day, your new life will begin, I cant promise it will be easy, cant say it will be hard, I can say that with all the complications and everything I had to go through, It was well worth it.
