Hi! I have not checked here in a while. Good to meet you. How long have you had your band?? Donna:ranger:

Hi DonHall,

I am being banded on Jan.8. My 2 week liquid pre-op diet starts on Christmas day...

hi, just want to say i am in jeffersonville, and i was banded on 8/2006. total lost 57 pounds.

Hello all

I'm from Southern Indiana. Nice to know there are fellow Kentuckiana folk here.

Hello Globally Yours and everyone else

I am getting real excited and nervous, I go in to get my band next Monday, May 5th. Went in for my pre-op stuff last week and all went well. I am having my band put in at Norton's Hosp. downtown. I think I am ready, I've got stuff to drink for the next two weeks, and a my Mom is keeping my little girl for the first four days, so I hope that I haven't forgotten anything. If anyone knows of some other prep I should do, please send me a suggestion.

Have a great day,

Soon to be a true Bandedgirl08

Hi everyone!!! Nice to know there are others close by. I finally lost two more pounds. It is getting harder now. Donna

ooooooooooooo Congrats Bandedgirl! How's the pre-op diet going? Do you feel headachey? Will be thinking of you Monday. What time do you go in?

Hello from a fellow Jeff bandster. I am seven weeks out and doing pretty good. I am down twenty pounds, so no complaints. I am getting back to working out at the Jeff YMCA, and I know that will help a bunch. Do you work out anywhere? Drop me line when you get time. Have a great day.

Hi, Donna

Hope you are having a great week. I am in Jeff and seven weeks out. Where did you have your surgery? I had mine in Louisville with Dr. Allen through Louisvile Surgical Center at Nortons. Do you still go to any support group meetings? Hope to catch ya later,

Hi everyone. I am new New Albany. Where did you all get banded? I am looking into Louisville Bariatrics with Lusco. I hear the surgery is done at Clark Co hospital. Has anyone used them? I am in the early stages of getting my info together and choosing a surgeon in network. Hopefully my insurance will pay some or all of the costs!

Hi there, yes I used Clark Memorial, and absolutely love them. They have a great program. Dr MacMillian did my surgery, actually he and Hamilton are in surgery together.

I had Anthem Federal and they paid for all except about $1200, my uncle had it done at Clark as well, he had Humana, and they paid 100%. I hear they are doing the surgery at Floyd now too, but I don´t know anything about their program.

Hi all! I'm a Columbus girl banded in indy 10-22. nice to see southern indy peeps!

Hi every one I am in Clarksville , Indiana. I had my lapband done at Clark Memorial. I was impressed with how well I was taken care of. The nursing staff was unbelievably nice. Note to mention some of them were hotties. Hope every one is doing well hope to chat with every one.

Congrats on your surgery. CMH really does a wonderful job don't they
