Evansville question

Hi,

I will be moving to Evansville in Nov or Dec.  I had LapBand done in Nov of 2007 and I am no where near my goal.  I noticed that Evansville only has 2 doctors that do LapBand.  How will this work?  Can I get copies of my files transferred?  Is there a support system?  That is a lot of my problem now, I live about 2 hours away from where my surgery was done and can't make it to the support groups.

I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me.

Thanks and I hope to get to know some of you soon.

There are support groups here.  Most of them are closed meetings for their patients only.  There is  one support group that meets about once a month on Wed. evenings.,  I don't have the details, but I know there are other support group members who use this site who will know.  St. Mary's program can also give you the contact name for this group.

Both of the hospitals here do Lap Band surgery and have support groups. There is also a support group for St. Vincent (Indianapolis) on the 4th Tuesday of the month. I haven't found the groups were picky about where you came from. I went to the Deaconess group a couple of times before St. V had a group and other than a few stares because they had never heard of my surgery it was fine. I would call both hospitals here and explain your situation and I'm sure you could see their doctors for follow up.

Thank you very much for your information.  I will call the hospitals and see what I can find out.

Thanks again.
