Any Lap-Bands out there?

I don't know anything about sugeons in Indy, as I am from So IN.  You may want to post on the Lap Band forum.  There are thousands of banders on there, just put your city or doc name in your topic line.  Good Luck!

Thanx Sheri I will.

Hi!  Congratulations on taking the step to a healthy you!  I have the lapband.  I had my surgery 1 year ago the 27th.  I've lost about 118lbs so far.  I love it.  I don't know your doc.  I had my surgery in Columbus, IN.  Again Congratulations!

Thanks for the encouragement!  One year sounds really good to me.  Choicing to go slower and not altering my insides is comfortable to me.  I don't want this to be a short term change and the idea of being a bag of skin is not very appealing either.  I know I will be wrinkly but I would trade mobility, gracefulness, and energy over my current lifestyle.  (hope my ticker shows :-)

Hi!  I am a "newbie" lap bander!  I just had my surgery on March 12.   I am still feeling my way through everything, but would be more than happy to chat when you need to.  Good luck with your approval!

Hey Mandy,
Thanks for the response.  Hope all is going well with you.  How hard is it to adjust to the new lifestyle with the band in place?  I had a glitch so they haven't sent my paperwork in yet, needed 5 years of doctor supervised weight documentation which is being faxed over today!
I am excited but a little scared too.  During the last 6 months I have changed my eating and lost 34 lbs but I still get to eat as much as I like of the foods allowed.  Concerned about adjusting to the amount, do you feel full?  Thanx again, L
