Choosing a hospital and Dr in Indiana



Recommended Posts

Spoke to to my RN Caseworker for the first time today. Gotta go through paperwork to see if my Dr ever said anything about weight loss so I can use it as part of my Dr supervised diet because it doesn't need to be consecutive just in the last year!

In the mean time I need to choose a center and Dr. The RN is sending me a list today of which Dr at each center that I can go to but I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose either

St Vincents or IU Health North both of which is in Carmel Indiana. So if anyone has had any dealings with either centers and Dr's there I'd like to hear your experiences!

I don't live in Indianapolis now, but in the early 90's I lived at the Fountainhead Apartments on Laguna Drive, which was walking distance to St. Vincent. I was the General Manager of their Martin House Hotel.

I was never hospitalized there, but I did go to their Hand Center for a serious injury and was quite pleased with their care. One of my daughters (teenager at the time) was suffering from a bad case of teenage angst and visited a St. Vincent psychologist for a while with good results.

You might see what you can find out about their Bariatric program. They are a Bariatric Center of Excellence, which many Insurance companies require. Several of their physicians and bariatric professionals got their training at the IU medical Center.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
