Mommy 13

Hey there everyone, first I have Anthem and did not have to do the supervised visits with the doc. so I think it depends on your BMI and medical history. I had my surgery in July of 08 and have lost 105 so far. I live in Merr. and work in Portage, I see Dr. Stanish and LOVE him and his team. They do suggest high protein and low carbs but are open to what works for you. I was intrested in the support groups but heard the same and most of the people are by-pass, may be a few of us with the band could meet sometime, it would be so great to have people who live close, have the same doc and understand the struggles with the band. Please respond those who live near by and let me know, I would love to help in any way and to be able to pick you minds also.

Hi Zet, I am from Merriville In. and was banded by Dr. Standish in Merr. He is a great doc. LOVE HIM. Had mine done on July 14, 2008, start weight 334 current 265 and doing well. Is he the doc. you are trying to use? If so the whole staff is great, you will love them.

Great info.

I was banded on July 14, 08 had one fill in July and still feel no little restriction. I have lost 69 pounds but I think that has been my own choices and exersicing like crazy. I fear that will wear off and the weight will come back if I don't get resrtiction soon.

Hi, from Merriville Indiana. I am new to the site and glad I see others from my state.

Thanks for the info. and the support. Hopefully my doctor will "fill me up" on Tuesday.

Marie, hi new to this site also. Can you tell me how I can get the ticket tracker and other things added to my site. Can't seem to figure this out. Thanks.
