I just sent in my paperwork on Tuesday, so I am very new to this whole process. I have chosen Dr. Stanish as my surgeon...anyone else have him?

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!

Renee

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!

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!
