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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
