Hey Indiana people! I was banded May 2011 at St. Vincent's Carmel by Dr. Diaz! I agree that everyone there is pretty awesome. Kami, the NP, is equally awesome as well! (Although the first time I met her, I thougth she was 12.)

I'm getting a fill in 2 weeks after having been unfilled for about a year due to pregnancy! FINALLY. I have 55 lbs to get back to pre-baby weight and then another 37 after that to get to my goal! Yikes! lol

That's exciting! Who's your doc? Don't be freaked out when they do it! Lol it looks pretty crazy. They don't always let someone go back with you either just fyi :)

Dr Cacucci is my doc. I like her so far. I am taking hubby along for support so I hope they let him in. I think I need it for the first one ;)

How much do they typically put in?

I got 1 cc at a time but if you can handle it they could put up to 3-4 for your first fill if your band is empty. Depends on your doc really! Let me know how it goes!

Wowzers, I had 2cc's put in at time of surgery and I really don't feel much difference then before being banded. I am curious now to see how much they do. I will keep you posted.

Hi Hoosiers!

I was banded on Dec 30, 2013 in Noblesville. We have a support group that meets on the first Thursday of every month. Glad to see so many places around the state have bariatric practices. I've read so many stories of people traveling hours to have their surgery.

Dr Shayani in Illinois is well worth it the drive! Banded in Dec and down 37 lbs. No problems at all with less than 10 lbs to goal. He is very knowledgeable and takes time with all his patients.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
