Red face New from Indiana

Hi all. I am so glad I found this place. My name is Kelly and I am schedulded to have my band on December 17th. I was terrified for about a week after I found out and in just the past week have really accepted that this is going to happen..... I am extremely anxious, nervous, happy... the whole range of emotions. My biggest anxiety is fear of the unknown.... maybe that is just because I will have had 10 weeks to think about it. I am so glad this is here for support!:clap2:

Hi I too am from Indiana (around Indianapolis). I was banded 8 weeks ago. So far so good. Take a deep breath you will be fine. By day 3 I was walking a mile and back to work in 7. There is a lot to think about and like you said the unknown is scarry. Use this time to start walking or riding a bike. Start trying foods on your post-op diet list, and try different protein drinks to see what you like best. I personally like Unjury, but there are many kinds. Good luck and keep posting! :)

Cool more hoosiers! :whoo:
Anderson here. Dying city inc.

man I've been waiting for 2 months for my doc to let me know which surgeon/center I can go to. Whole insurance requires my personal do to make the referrals and I think she's dragging her feet.
She was suposed to set it up at St.vincent's in carmel at the bariatric center. I even submitted a application to them also and haven't heard back yet.

But I've heard good things about the bariatric center. And since my doc is the whole St.vincents network I didn't think it would take this long. lol
