Anyone from Indiana?

I'm from Indiana too and I'm brand new to this and just starting to look into it. Have you had it done already?

Not yet. I go for my final appointment with my surgeon next week the I have to wait on insurance approval and a surgery date. I'm hoping for early April.

Where are you having it done at?

IU Bariatric

I've heard the process is quicker at St.Vincent and some of the Dr's are part of both groups.

I'm going to be self pay I live in Valparaiso but I'm willing to travel to get a great Dr. and a great price but I will not go to Mexico like so many private pay people do that just scares mr

Typo sorry it scares me not mr

I used Dr. Diaz at St. Vincent Hospital. He and the hospital were both great!

Anyone from Indiana?

I am!

Me too. I went to Lutheran Bariatric Center in Fort Wayne. Dr. Sloan and his staff are great!

WOW, it's nice to hear people who are from my home town!!!!!! Born in ft. Wayne , iN dec. 1970... I'm now living in Texas... I really miss home!!!

I'm using Dr.Inman she is affiliated with both groups. She is one of the few Dr's that do the switch and has been doing it for years. A sleeve is just the first part of the switch.

Hi All,

I'm new too, in Indy. I'm just starting my process with IU as well, Dr. Evanson. He's fantastic so far and I'm really excited to move forward. I am soooo ready for this!!

I really like everything at IU so far. How far along in the process are you?

BryJohn if you were asking me, I am just going to my first information meeting this week and since I'll be private pay I want to see what they have to say about that. I have seen on this board some people have said their surgery would have cost upwards of $81000.00 then some say $8,000. So that makes a heck of a difference to me!! I will not go to Mexico for the surgery if its cheaper from what I've been reading in some areas I travel there. So basically I'm just starting out but I want it yesterday!!
