Lap Band scheduled at IU Health (Clairian North)

[donh69 0]

Surgery scheduled for March at IU Health formerly Clarian Bariatrics.

Is there anyone that has either gone there for lap band

surgery or are planning on going there?

I have my date set for March 28, 2011 and go for pre-op testing on Monday March

14, 2011.

I hope that everything goes OK with the testing.

I have Dr. Ditslear as my surgeon. Any comments about him?

I was originally wanted the vertical sleeve but my insurance would not approve

it. I thought about the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass but decided that I would try

the lap band first.

I realize that the weight loss is not as fast but the restrictions

on food are less.

Anybody have the lap band and wish they would have done

something else?
