I was just wondering if there are any Hoosiers out there... Or anyone for that matter. I feel invisible on here!!!!!!! :confused:

I'm a Hoosier transplant....orginally a Buckeye. I live in NE IN and had my surgery at St. Vincent's in Indy/Carmel. Where are you from? Where are you having your surgery done?

Hi there, I am from South Bend area. I am having my surgery at TEAM bariatrics which is part of the Goshen Health Care System. Thanks for replying!!!

okay now I am just checking to see if my pic uploaded...sorry still new to this..:confused:

I'm from NWIndiana and I am due to be banded in Mexico on June 26! I felt kind of alone too!

Howdy, fellow Hoosiers. I'm just getting started. I have my first consultation 3:30pm on Monday, 6/19. I'm from central Indiana (south of Indy). Good luck to you all.

How was your appt with the doctor? Who did you see? I'm still looking for a closer fill doctor. I'm in Brown County often (my parents live there) and your area would be better than downtown Chicago!

There is a doc in Bloomington, but I don't know how good he is with fills. He has a great bedside manner, though. I was only able to go to the first half of my appointment. The doc was stuck in surgery and I had to be somewhere, then a close friend died, so another wait. I have the rest of my initial appointment today (monday) at 12noon. I'll let you know how it goes.

p.s. hope everything goes well for you today!! Happy B-day!!

Hi everyone!!! Im so excited, I just got approved for my surgery!!! Finally after almost 12 mos of trying. Its surreal. :clap2:

:clap2: :becky: :banana thanks!!!!! i know, i cant believe it. it seems like the questions from other people never end. now i am getting hit with questions like..what are you gonna do with all that skin? JEEZ.. can i at least loose the weight first? lol. i dont know when to schedule my surgery. im going on a cruise in sept, and they said that it would be really too tough on me to do that before a cruise. so ill have to wait until oct. i smoked my last cig today just to try to be healthier etc. my life is gonna be changing all over again. but i am excited. a little nervous too. im worried about losing hair. little things that i am trying not to focus on now. but thanks for your support!!!! im so happy i found this site!!!

Dr Mcwen in Noblesville did mine. I have lost 25 lbs. in 30 days. he has a great staff, did it outpatient, and I would highly recommend him.

I'm in Chicago, not exactly IN but close. I am willing to drive if you want to start am monthly meet-up. ~Mandy

I am not a hoosier but a tranplanted Canadian in corn country:)

Hello all! I am in the process of learning all I can about lapband surgery to see if it's right for me. I live in southern Indiana near Louisville.

I grew up in Southern Indiana in Newburgh and went to IU in Bloomington. I now live in sunny Florida though:biggrin1:
