  • Not trying to spark any debate but it just angers me greatly that it has now been approved for Medicaid patients.

I am too! I am getting my surgery done at IU Bariatric. Has anyone had Dr. jennifer Choi as their surgeon? If so please respond. I have my surgery scheduled for Dec 22nd and I am freaking out as I read complication horror stories :-(

Im from Ft. Wayne. Had my sleeve done on April 9 at St. Vincent-Carmel, by Dr. Evanson. 39 days out and 33 lbs lost! I've been very happy with my decision, although it's not the "easy way out" by any means! This is hard work, folks! Good luck to all!

I'm from Indy too. Doing IUHealth bariatrics, Dr. Choi. Work at IUH, so I have their insurance. I'm switching from the band to sleeve. Doc that dos my sleeve, Dr. Inman is now at St. Vincent Indy, where they move you through the process a little quicker than IUH.

Slimgal2015, My doc is choi too!

So how is everyone doing?... I'm living the life .. I got my life back. It's been over 2 yrs since my surgery and I'm getting younger!

Hi, I went for a consult w/ St. Vincent in Carmel as well. And they told me about the same. $24,000. Thats when I started doing more research and decided to go to Tijuana, Mexico. Its $6500 where I am going. There are places that are cheaper, but I feel I have a good surgeon (who lives in states) and a good hospital. I just couldnt afford self pay here. I am having my surgery 2 weeks from today.
