DayOne Health Staff
Every DayOne Health team member is dedicated to supporting our Chicago patients before, during and after weight loss surgery. We understand the unique needs of our patients and are committed to providing you with the best options in a comfortable and caring environment. We even have members on staff who have had the lap-band themselves and are qualified to give patients weight loss advice from experience.
Patient Advocates – Gladys and Rebecca
As our Patient Advocates, Gladys and Rebecca provide continuing emotional support, guidance, encouragement and weight loss help to our patients. They work with each patient individually to address their questions, needs and concerns before and after lap-band surgery. In addition to building one-on-one relationships with each of our Chicago patients they serve as a liaison between the Program Coordinator and Program Assistant so that each patient gets the amount of support they need. They are uniquely qualified for their position as they are both 
lap-band patients themselves. Their personal weight loss experience makes them a terrific source of information, advice and support.
Insurance Coordinator – Priscilla
The financial implications of lap-band surgery are often a huge concern to patients. Bariatric surgery costs can vary and insurance coverage can be difficult to obtain. DayOne Health in Chicago has a full time insurance coordinator to help our patients understand their coverage. Our insurance coordinator will help you understand your policy and benefits, what will be covered and what hard costs may be incurred. If insurance coverage is unavailable our coordinator can help you submit an appeal or apply for low cost financing through a special bariatric surgery lender.
