What No Hoosiers.

The last post made here was in July of 2011, with Indiana being consistently in the top 15 states with high obesity, I am sure there have to be a few Hoosier bandters out there.

I'm here, I'm here!

I'm here. Banded December 2009 and not doing so great! Where are you guys working that your insurance covers fills & visits, or do you know of any doctors with reasonable self-pay rates? My insurance doesn't cover it and I haven't seen a band doctor in over a year!

I'm here too, but I'm not banded yet. I had my last pre-surgery appointment yesterday. now just waiting on a date. I am going to St. Vincent's in Carmel. I would recommend the lap band support group, it meets the first Wed of each month. I went last month and it was great. It's open to anyone that's had lap band surgery or are thinking about it.

Dizzy Lizzy, not sure how much they cost since I'm going through my insurance. I hope you find someone soon.

Colleen, my date is June 21st @ IU North. Let me know when your date is! Love to have you as a support person

Dizzy, I have know idea what the cost is for fills. Haven't had to cross that bridge yet. Call a few places and see what they say.

Hoosier by default! I was a high school exchange student to Hamilton, Indiana. Currently wearing my class ring because it fits again! (Class of 81)

Anyone interested in a meet up? They cancelled the lap band support group at st vincents and I loved it! Would be willing to organize a get together.

Dizzy-Dr. McEwen in Noblesville is AMAZING! His self-pay fills will run you $150. I've been banded for two years and have had zero issues because of him!

Another Hoosier here! Banded 12/21 with Dr. Ray in Bloomington.

Tarajill- Did you have any complications? I have heard terrible things about Dr. Ray. At the time of my surgery, I lived in Bloomington and chose to drive to Noblesville because of the bad reviews I heard.

Lauren - I have no complaints with him. No complications with my surgery either. Their education program lacks but this is the only thing I would criticize so far.
