Anyone had Dr. Stanish in Merrillville, IN?



Recommended Posts

Woot...I got my approval Monday! I go in September 4th to see Dr. Stanish...surgery should be within two weeks after that! I'm going to be starting my liquid diet around Sept. 1st....just in case we can get an earlier surgery date! ;)

Hey all...I'm back and finally banded! Dr. Stanish is wonderful...I have nothing but nice things to say about him and his entire staff at the WLS and Broadway Methodist.

I'm well on my way to the loser's bunch!! :)

Hi Sandi

I am from Schererville, Indiana. I am scheduled to see Dr.Stanish on Tuesday, April 1, 2008 for his approval. I already finished the phsy elvaluation and meet with the dietican. I still need to finish my supervised diet, which should end in Mid May. I hope to get to the support group. Do you attend?

Hi KarenIN, I just had surgery on the 24th of March.

It is nice to see another person from NWI. Dr. Stanish

is awesome as well as his staff. I have not made it to a

meeting yet but I am going to go in April. Keep us informed!

Good Luck!

I hope you are feeling well. I imagine you are on the liquid diet now. Keep me posted on how you progress. Hey, maybe I will see you at a support group meeting one day. Sounds like Dr. Stanish is very well liked. I have been very impressed with all of the staff, and the program.

Hi Renee,

I just signed up and seen you were local and the same age as me. I would love to chat. I am going to the "seminar" tomorrow. My insurance wont cover this, but the cost will be worth it. Feel free to email me at ddsh823@aol.com.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Have a great night!

Hi Sandi,

It is nice to see someone local on this site. I'm in the process of getting the courage to make my appt to get my medical necessity paper. My surgeon is from WaterTower in Chicago. I did not know that we had any local. I live in Portage. This would be great to have someone to go thru this process together!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
