Topic: RE: IU Bariatrics Seminar
i went to the IU seminar and began my wls prep with them earlier this year. I was actually a little nervous about it as well but the seminar is actually nothing to be nervous about. Its in a very nice easy to find building and everyone there is very nice and helpfull. As far as what to expect... once you enter the door you will be greeted by the receptionist at the desk and you will sign in there. they will make a copy of your insurance card so they can check your insurance and give you an idea of what your insurance will require for you to have the surgery ( mainly if you will be on a 3 or 6 month course). Then you just have a seat in the waiting/projection room where a nurse and a doctor will show a slideshow and talk about the whole process and surgery and they will answer questions after. When its all done they ask you if you would like to schedule an appointment to see the doc. Thats all there is to it really, its very informative and helpful.
Topic: IU Bariatrics Seminar

Topic: My surgery date is almost her, nervous anyone play mw3?
I have six days until my rny. I have become increasingly nervous about it lol. one of the ways ive been keeping a level head is playing xbox live. Currently ive been playing modern warfare 3 on the xbox. It would be nice to get to know someone who shares a bariatric experience and maybe play some mw3. If anyone is interested please let me know.

Topic: RE: Dr. Inman's Office/Scheduling
On the journey to losing weight, your friends & family will be the first people to try to knock you off. They do this not out spite, but out of being convicted and knowing they should do the same. It's easier to put someone down for doing the right thing, than for them to actually do it. So at your next family re-union or wherever you are eat your chicken and broccoli and smile when they make jokes about you, they are jealous!
If you are having the DS she only does one or two a week.

Topic: RE: Meridian Surgical Group/ St Vincent's Carmel
I have had no issue with this office. I got a quick surgery date once I decided that was the route I wanted to take, they have been friendly and helpful the entire time.
I would recommend them to anyone thinking about bariatric help.

Topic: RE: Internal Medicine MD - West Side of Indianapolis
I recommend Dr Tracy Murray. She is in with IU Med Group at Clarian West. I think she is a GP, but will give any referrals as needed. I have a complicated gut and she has been great.

Topic: RE: HELP PLEASE
you may be able to use the Dr notes that you had from the last times you saw the Dr... there is also a board here that answers insurance questions. they may be better suited with answers.
