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

Dr Sloan is in Fort Wayne, his office is out of Lutheran Hospital. I would love any imput any one may have! Thanks- Chelle

I was banded May 27th at Clark Memorial in Jeffersonville, IN. Was treated like a princess!

Anybody have any experiences with fills in the Evansville Indiana area?

Nice to see a Hoosier thread!

I grew up in Martinsville ...then live in Batesville now for the past 7 years. Im seeing Trace Curry in Cincy for my surgery.

I have 2 more months of my supervised diet left before insurance approval!!!! Woohoo!

Great!

We are in Evansville.

Don't know if you caught it or not but it was my hubby who got the surgery. We went to mexico south of San Diego for his. It was 7,000 out of pocket. Insurance wouldn't cover it. He scheduled it about a week after he discovered the hospital and was comfortable He didn't go through any counceling which I wish he had because he has learned to cheat not and has started gaining his weight back

Sorry I do not know Dr Sloan, I think I was thinking he may be up by Goshen,

Thats great that you are still low. I am worried about gaining back. I have surgery scheduled on the 20th of june. Now, I am saying...I should try and do it on my own again.

lolly,

I would really think carefully about it if your wanting to do it on your own. Go ahead and start trying again for a month, make a date for the surgery a month in the future from the 20th of June, like July 20th. Please be sure if your going to be happy with your decision. Its not a cake walk to be in surgery or this operation. The only thing I can see the operation does is take your appetite away from you. The eating thing is really difficult and some what boring. Just be sure it is what you want.

I am near evansville, i was thinking about deaconess hospital, can anyone tell me if they had surgery there , who did it, and how it went? I am very nervous about the prospect of surgery itself. thanks for your help

I am from Evansville. Graduated from Reitz in 86...I live near Jasper, In now though. I had my surgery last May up north. My daughter is meeting with a doctor this monday in Evansville.

Where are you at on your process???

I must say your words have been very incouraging and i thank you all for listening and taking the time to respond. I will be on my own if and when i do this so having the web site will help. I live near vincennes in a very small town wheatland i go through jasper and shoals twice a month for work. nice to meet someone so close with the same experiences. it would be nice to hear from someone who had the surgery a yr . or so ago , and see how they are doing in the long term. thanks again to everyone and keep peddleing hoosierpoms, and best of luck to your daughter.

congrats on getting your date, and making such a great move!!!

I live about 45 min from Bloomington, and I go to Fishers for my fills. I am doing pretty good, and you know.....feeling good again is worth all the waiting we did to get to the surgery!!!

best of luck,

Traci

Oh my

We work at Crane and go through Loogootee all the time and I know exactly where wheatland is. Wow..small world

I am a year out......It was the best choice I have ever made.

email me anytime....

I'm moving to Indy living with my parents. Had my band on May 28th, have lost 15lbs. Having psyc. troubles anyone have a recommendation for a good counselor!! Thanks!!

I went to Dr McEwen in Fishers. 70 off. I would research the docs carefully. Sometimes close does not mean the same as supportive:)
