Indiana Anyone?

Welcome

[Vicki Loichinger 444]

Hi

I am from Indianapolis. In the process of having a revision from Lap Band to RNY. Having my surgery at St. Francis. Going tomorrow for Dietician and Counselor apt. I have already had Psych Eval, and orientation and met with the Surgeon Just doing what they ask when they ask to try and speed this along.

I had the Lap Band seven years ago. I have lost and gained many times over that time. I need the RNY for the help in weight but more than that for the hope that it will reverse my Type 2 Diabeetes and my need for insulun. I take huge amounts a day, still have high numbers, continue to gain weight, and my body hurts all over, so much pain involved.

I hope this happens sooner than later. But I admit I am nervous about it, but I am trying real hard to wrap my head around what life will be like after.

Hope to talk to all of you and lend support as I can.

Vicki

Hello! I am just east of Indianapolis. I had RNY April 20th. I have never felt better. I am sure your scared, but I am sure you will be fine. I can help answer any questions you have or help make this transition better for you. Hope the process goes fast for you.

Me too! Me too! I am in NW Indy, Dr Cacucci at St V! I had my initial consult yesterday. Meet with psych on Friday and awaiting insurance instructions. I really liked Dr Cacucci! Would be interested in hearing how your approval process went. Congrats on your upcoming surgery

It has been a battle more within than anything. I know my insurance covers it, it was just a long process. My pre op testing is next Tuesday and for job reasons hopefully surgery in late Sept, a month later than planned but that is ok! You have to come to support group sometime! Next Tuesday at 7 suite 255!

Thanks I'll try to make the support group! At St V's Carmel, right? I have struggled within so much...even tonight. But I know this is right! Good luck to you!

I think you would love group there if you can make it. I have been going as often as possible since January. I'm glad I had the time. If you ever have any questions or want to talk send me a private message. I'd be glad to exchange numbers. I'm a Texter
