Any Indiana WLS beginners?



Recommended Posts

I just started my 6 month dietitian classes requirement for WLS. I choose RNY procedure, it would be great to find some support

I'm in Anderson, IN and had a mini gastric bypass on 7/8/2016. Almost 2 weeks down. I had very little pain and have felt no hunger. I'm very glad to be on the other side! I hope all goes well for you! Let me know if I can be of any help!

Where did you have your procedure done at? And what is a mini gastric bypass?

I had my surgery in Juarez. Great care! My insurance did not pay for bariatric surgery. I went back and forth between RNY and the mini bypass. They are very similar but the mini is less invasive. If you google the images for mini gastric bypass, they have diagrams to show you the difference. The results of both bypasses are equivalent.

Hi, I'm in Marion, IN, but having my surgery at IU Carmel. I did consults at both IU and St. Vincents, but decided that IU was the better hospital for me. I have my reasons, and if anyone want to chat about those we can. More than anything I think its important to do your research and choose a facility that is best for you and your needs.

I'm wondering which one to chose between the two myself. I am going for referral from doc in a week.

Sandy, congratulations on your successful surgery. I am reading different posts about the incisions. What type of incision did you get for the Gastric Bypass surgery?

I live in Northwest Indiana. Just had a band removal and in 3 months will be having the Gastric Bypass surgery. Looking for a buddy/friend/mentor or someone who is familiar with it to go through it with me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
