mitz 221 Posted July 18, 2014 I'm in Indianapolis. I was sleeved 8/2013 Good luck to you in your journey for a healthier life. I was sleeved 6/19/13 .. I weighed 478lbs and now Im at 226 lbs and feeling great! Make sure you get your daily walks in, try 15 mins a day to start out and don't over do it, drink plenty of Water cut out all carbonated drinks and weigh and log all your foods. I only eat foods that have Protein in it. I don't bother with bread but i did have a grilled chicken sandwich from Denny's and might not have another on until next month. Remember that this is not a race and living healthy has no finish line, choosing the right foods now and eating the right weighed amount will help you out as you progress down the road, don't ever miss a meal nor forget taking you Vitamins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZoeyBear 64 Posted May 18, 2015 Im from Ft. Wayne. Had my sleeve done on April 9 at St. Vincent-Carmel, by Dr. Evanson. 39 days out and 33 lbs lost! I've been very happy with my decision, although it's not the "easy way out" by any means! This is hard work, folks! Good luck to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msmith37 1 Posted August 9, 2015 I'm from Indy too. Doing IUHealth bariatrics, Dr. Choi. Work at IUH, so I have their insurance. I'm switching from the band to sleeve. Doc that dos my sleeve, Dr. Inman is now at St. Vincent Indy, where they move you through the process a little quicker than IUH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
