Hi Stephanie-- i am post op 13 years and have gained back 100 of the 150 I lost-- now looking to get a revision-- I don't have a thyroid now which makes losing weight very difficult- yet i feel i must go back to some kind of life without the weight. I am interested in hearing more about how you are planning or doing a weight loss plan now.  thanks!

Hello there I'm from Indianapolis Indiana also. I had RNY    surgery on September 13 of 2012 and so far I've lost 100 pounds however sad to say I've gained back about 30. I have been through a lot lately and I had a lot of complications right after surgery I had developed an ulcer  I had to have a pic line in my own arm for four months and just recently about four months ago after two years I had developed a blood clot on my lungs so I have been through a lot and I'm trying to pick myself back up and get back on track. I have just been feeling a little sad and a little disappointed that I have not lost more weight but at the same time I realize that I did not stay on the plan and did not exercise on a regular basis so therefore I am trying to pick myself up and start all over again I know deep down in my heart that I can go through this journey and reach my goal

I would go to Carmel. Dr. Jones was my Dr. I had my surgery at Carmel. She is now at Community. The program there is also very good.  They are both centers of excellence.

Lab band is best if you don't have a lot of weight to lose. It doesn't do as much for diabetes. RNY helps to cure diabetes. I would personally make the drive to St Vincent's or Community. I would only go to a Bariatric Center of Excellence.
