Anyone had Dr. Stanish in Merrillville, IN?



Recommended Posts

Woot...I got my approval Monday! I go in September 4th to see Dr. Stanish...surgery should be within two weeks after that! I'm going to be starting my liquid diet around Sept. 1st....just in case we can get an earlier surgery date! ;)

Hey all...I'm back and finally banded! Dr. Stanish is wonderful...I have nothing but nice things to say about him and his entire staff at the WLS and Broadway Methodist.

I'm well on my way to the loser's bunch!! :)

Hi Sandi

I am from Schererville, Indiana. I am scheduled to see Dr.Stanish on Tuesday, April 1, 2008 for his approval. I already finished the phsy elvaluation and meet with the dietican. I still need to finish my supervised diet, which should end in Mid May. I hope to get to the support group. Do you attend?

Hi KarenIN, I just had surgery on the 24th of March.

It is nice to see another person from NWI. Dr. Stanish

is awesome as well as his staff. I have not made it to a

meeting yet but I am going to go in April. Keep us informed!

Good Luck!

I hope you are feeling well. I imagine you are on the liquid diet now. Keep me posted on how you progress. Hey, maybe I will see you at a support group meeting one day. Sounds like Dr. Stanish is very well liked. I have been very impressed with all of the staff, and the program.

Hi Renee,

I just signed up and seen you were local and the same age as me. I would love to chat. I am going to the "seminar" tomorrow. My insurance wont cover this, but the cost will be worth it. Feel free to email me at ddsh823@aol.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Have a great night!

Daneen

Hi Sandi,

It is nice to see someone local on this site. I'm in the process of getting the courage to make my appt to get my medical necessity paper. My surgeon is from WaterTower in Chicago. I did not know that we had any local. I live in Portage. This would be great to have someone to go thru this process together!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
