I am in Evansville. I am just starting on my journey. I submitted a form yesterday that I was interested, they called me today and my initial consultation is in 2 weeks. This seems like it is moving fast, however, a lot of people are saying it is at least 6 months before surgery. I was just wondering how long it was from your initial consultation until your surgery.
Thanks
I'm 12 weeks post op now and I wanted to answer the questions I couldn't before.
I feel great! I'm nearly 80 pound down, about half of that was lost post-op. I don't hurt as much' my BP and blood sugar are way lower and have been since 1 day post op. My biggest issue is that my BP is on the low low end of normal so I tend to get dizzy easily but its nothing that makes me regret the surgery :)
Waiting for surgery
My Thought on WLS: I can restrict what I eat, or I can do nothing and let what I eat restrict me!!

This board used to be so active! Where is everyone? I am 11 years post op RNY. Had my surgery at St V Carmel. I am currently trying to lose some regain due to steroids and some poor eating choices. It's a new year and time for a new start! What's your plan for the new year?

There is the Hensler medical group in Anderson, Indiana it's very expensive though your first visit is $250 so they can do a full work up (blood test, ekg etc.) the medication is another $50 and then they charge you $65 for every visit plus medication every month and you have to go every month. I live in Ft. Wayne, I wish I knew of somewhere closer and I really wish insurance would cover it like they do surgeries.
