I had my surgery at St Vincents Hospital in Carmel Indiana and started in August 20013 and could of had my surgery in Dec but had it in Jan, so it could be 6 months or sooner. Good Luck
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?
