I'm from Indiana too and I'm brand new to this and just starting to look into it. Have you had it done already?

Not yet. I go for my final appointment with my surgeon next week the I have to wait on insurance approval and a surgery date. I'm hoping for early April.

I've heard the process is quicker at St.Vincent and some of the Dr's are part of both groups.

I used Dr. Diaz at St. Vincent Hospital. He and the hospital were both great!

I'm using Dr.Inman she is affiliated with both groups. She is one of the few Dr's that do the switch and has been doing it for years. A sleeve is just the first part of the switch.

Hi All,

I'm new too, in Indy. I'm just starting my process with IU as well, Dr. Evanson. He's fantastic so far and I'm really excited to move forward. I am soooo ready for this!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
