IU Bariatric Center

I'm hoping to have surgery by April and I'm wanting to hear from other people that have gone with IU Bariatric.

How was your surgery? I'm going through IU Bariatric now. Getting really to have labs done July 8th

Everything went great! I didn't have any problems with anything other than pain in my shoulder from the gas. I walked 6 laps around the halls the night of surgery and 14 the next morning. The nurses were great!

I'm getting nervous but excited because I just got the call that my insurance approved my surgery. I have to go for pre op labs this Monday. How soon after will surgery be scheduled?

I had Dr.Inman for surgery and she did a great job but she has now left the IU center. I am switching to Dr Mattar and have my first appt with him in a few weeks.

I actually am going with Team Bariatrics which is closer to my home town but there are still a part of IU Health. My first appointment is in Aug. I can't wait!

Got my surgery date...August 14th. I still have some weight to loose before then. I'm going on the pre- op liquid diet ahead of time. I have 8lbs. to loose.

Can any of you please share your preop test, leek tests done during surgery and post op care at IU? I am getting mixed reviews at IU and wondering if I shoukd switch to St. Vincents

[MSLITA77 27]

My preop testing was like being admitted to the hospital. They went over medications, weight. They took about 10 tubes of blood, took a pulmonary test to test my lungs and they put you on heart leads to check your heart. I didn't need a post op leak test.
