anyone from indiana?

Mrspruett-- Dr. C is the Best -- he did my surgery as well.

I am in SE Indiana -- My second love is Indianapolis... lived there for 8 years.

Will probably go back one day when I get all of these bills paid.

I have my first seminar on April 12th!! I need to learn all I can. I am so excited!. I too live in southern Indiana, close to Louisieville!:) :nervous :o

Hey, just wanted to meet fellow Hoosier banders! I go to Dr. Ray in Bloomington and he is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. He and his staff are first class! You actually get to talk to a person when you call there! And you rarely get put on hold!:faint: I personally wouldn't go to any other Dr. He broke his arm right before I was going to have surgery......I waited. I wouldn't trust anyone else. He has done the 2nd most LB surgeries in Indiana. He is TOP NOTCH! :D He will be opening his own surgery center in Bloomington this summer! WOOHOO! Spread the word!:clap2:

I am 4 days post op and I am on top of the world! I can't believe how good I feel! Surgery was a breeze! I am hungry......but that's an adjustment I can make and it gives me something to look forward to.....soft solids! :)
I'll keep everyone posted as to my progress! :typing: I started at 308 and would love to be 1/2 the person I am now! :dance:

Woot, congrats!!!! :) Nice to see some more Indiana peeps around here!

I am from Northern Indiana too. Amish Country! =) I was banded in December ! Good luck to all of you!

I'm currently in research and development! I've had an initial consultation and I'm scheduled for a pysch consult on Friday and nutrition after that. I'm self pay so I will be able to have it quicker than an insurance prospect. My concern that no one has addressed is.......DO YOU MISS FOOD! I don't want to go through all of this if you have to live on liquid the rest of your life. Everyone seems so positive....any NEGATIVES I should be aware of?

Hi there!! I am from Crown Point, Indiana. I am just starting this whole process. I am going to use Dr. Stanish.

Hi Sandi,

I'm from Crown Point too!! I orginally contacted Dr. Stanish's office to find out about the procedure. Sounded like they had you jumping through hoops before you got to see the doctor. I went to a DAY ONE seminar on March 10th and had an initial consult on March 26th. My pysch exam was scheduled for today but I postponed it after reading this website. I'm still considering it, but nervous. Keep me posted....we can fumble through this together.

Dang...I'm from Schererville! I'm going to Day One :)

The psych eval is a piece of cake....I promise you!! Hurry and sign up for it :)

Yes, they do have you do everything before you meet with the surgeon...but I kinda like that. Step 1 is...will your insurance pay for it? That's what I want to know 1st anyway. And then all the medical stuff. That way when I meet with the surgeon, he has all the info he needs. I went to a seminar at Methodist. Did you ever attend 1 there?

Anyway, as long as you feel good about your surgeon, that's all that matters!!

It'll be interesting to see the process.

What's making you nervous.

I'm just so excited. I want it now!!!

Hi kimmie!!!

I haven't heard of Day One. Where is it?

It's downtown Chicago...it's a bit of a drive. But a lady that works in the school district I work in had her surgery done there...and I met her at the seminar...I was hooked! www.dayonehealth.com if you're interested :)

Dunno if any of you have messengers...but feel free to add me

I'm just nervous on whether my insurance is going to come back and say that I need a 6 month supervised diet! So...Monday I'm going ot my regular doctor to get a note stating that I've tried....EVERYTHING and have had absolutely NO success!

I'm anxious for the surgery...I've been working out continuously since I found out about it, and have been changing my eating habits big time!

Kimmie - there is a doc right in Merrillville that specializes in the "medically supervised diet" needed for WLS. It they come back saying that, I'll shoot you the name & number.

I see you are a teacher..me too...kinda. I teach computer software for a company.
