Hi! my name is Nichole. I'm 21. I am currently seeing Dr. Stanich, but at Community Hospital in Munster. I was wonder who else on here has seen him? Had him do your surgery? Before you were approved for the surgery did he put you on the high protein-low carb diet, if so, how long? How long did you have to wait for approval of your surgery? Did he suggest you attend classes? Any info you can give me on him I'd greatly appreciate it!! I've only seen him once, so I'm still new to the game. To those who reply much thanks to you~!!!!!!!

Hi! My name is Nichole, I'm 21. I'm from the northwest Indiana area, I'm seeing surgeon Dr. Stanich from Methodist Hospital (anyone seeing him?) I don't have a date to do my surgery yet, I'm so excited to get mine though! He is currently making me due a diet of high Protein and low carbs. It's only been 3 days, but so far I think I've lost a few pounds. I know he has me on his diet due to my poor eating habits and bingeing. I see him in a month. They said I have to go through a psychological exam and some other tests. I see a pyschiatrist every month (I am bipolar and have anxiety issues) do you think I can get a letter from my pyschiatrist, approving my surgery, than going through the exam? Also what types of tests do you go through before the operation? Like bloodwork or x-rays? Any to all of you who read this and have had the procedure, when was your surgery and how much have you lost? Sorry this is so long!! But I thank everyone who replies and helps me out with this!!!! :redface:
