I'm a Hoosier transplant....orginally a Buckeye. I live in NE IN and had my surgery at St. Vincent's in Indy/Carmel. Where are you from? Where are you having your surgery done?

Howdy, fellow Hoosiers. I'm just getting started. I have my first consultation 3:30pm on Monday, 6/19. I'm from central Indiana (south of Indy). Good luck to you all.

How was your appt with the doctor? Who did you see? I'm still looking for a closer fill doctor. I'm in Brown County often (my parents live there) and your area would be better than downtown Chicago!

There is a doc in Bloomington, but I don't know how good he is with fills. He has a great bedside manner, though. I was only able to go to the first half of my appointment. The doc was stuck in surgery and I had to be somewhere, then a close friend died, so another wait. I have the rest of my initial appointment today (monday) at 12noon. I'll let you know how it goes.

p.s. hope everything goes well for you today!! Happy B-day!!

:clap2: :becky: :banana ;) thanks!!!!! i know, i cant believe it. it seems like the questions from other people never end. now i am getting hit with questions like..what are you gonna do with all that skin? JEEZ.. can i at least loose the weight first? lol. i dont know when to schedule my surgery. im going on a cruise in sept, and they said that it would be really too tough on me to do that before a cruise. so ill have to wait until oct. i smoked my last cig today just to try to be healthier etc. my life is gonna be changing all over again. but i am excited. a little nervous too. im worried about losing hair. little things that i am trying not to focus on now. but thanks for your support!!!! im so happy i found this site!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
