What No Hoosiers.



Recommended Posts

The last post made here was in July of 2011, with Indiana being consistently in the top 15 states with high obesity, I am sure there have to be a few Hoosier bandters out there.

I'm here. Banded December 2009 and not doing so great! Where are you guys working that your insurance covers fills & visits, or do you know of any doctors with reasonable self-pay rates? My insurance doesn't cover it and I haven't seen a band doctor in over a year!

I'm here too, but I'm not banded yet. I had my last pre-surgery appointment yesterday. now just waiting on a date. I am going to St. Vincent's in Carmel. I would recommend the lap band support group, it meets the first Wed of each month. I went last month and it was great. It's open to anyone that's had lap band surgery or are thinking about it.

Dizzy Lizzy, not sure how much they cost since I'm going through my insurance. I hope you find someone soon.

Colleen, my date is June 21st @ IU North. Let me know when your date is! Love to have you as a support person :)

Dizzy, I have know idea what the cost is for fills. Haven't had to cross that bridge yet. Call a few places and see what they say.

Dizzy-Dr. McEwen in Noblesville is AMAZING! His self-pay fills will run you $150. I've been banded for two years and have had zero issues because of him!

Tarajill- Did you have any complications? I have heard terrible things about Dr. Ray. At the time of my surgery, I lived in Bloomington and chose to drive to Noblesville because of the bad reviews I heard.

Lauren - I have no complaints with him. No complications with my surgery either. Their education program lacks but this is the only thing I would criticize so far.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
