Final appointment with Dr went great! Found out ill have no restrictions afterwards. I can do whatever I want as soon as I feel like it. The nut said keep up with the liver reduction diet. Also I will also only have one night stay in the hospital.

I went for a few semesters but I got married and got a job.

Zacben how long ago did you go to ISU?

The first appt I met with the Dr and a Nut and scheduled my Psych exam and a swl class 1 month later. At that appointment they scheduled me my 3rd and final appointment with the Dr. I will also have to pass a nicotine test which is no problem. I will know more after Friday and ill keep you informed.

I'm from Terre Haute and have had many trips to the Beef House in Covington.

I've been on the 3 month diet since January but during the first month I would take one meal out of the week and have a "last supper" to get my fill of my favorites. I still managed to lose 10 lbs before my second appt. I'm 2 months out with no Diet Coke and 1months no beer. I go Friday for my final appointment and I'm 24 lbs down so far.

Luckily for me my only out if pocket will be $1500. I've heard the surgery running $15k for out of pocket.

I really like everything at IU so far. How far along in the process are you?

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.

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

IU Bariatric

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'm pre op but buy my jeans at The Buckle. I can't wait to be able to go to the mall and not have one specific store I have to shop at for shirts like I do now.

I'm hoping to have surgery by April and I'm wanting to hear from other people that have gone with IU Bariatric.

Anyone from Indiana?

Try using Shave Secret from Walmart. It gets my boys nice and smooth with no rash or bumps.

Hey Indianapolice did you ever get sleeved? I'm curious to hear about your results. We are very similar in size and age. I'm 6'2" 315 and 39 . I went to the seminar at IU and I have a appt with Dr. Inman in Jan.
