karieship 6 Posted July 21, 2016 I'm in Anderson, IN and had a mini gastric bypass on 7/8/2016. Almost 2 weeks down. I had very little pain and have felt no hunger. I'm very glad to be on the other side! I hope all goes well for you! Let me know if I can be of any help!

karieship 6 Posted July 26, 2016 I had my surgery in Juarez. Great care! My insurance did not pay for bariatric surgery. I went back and forth between RNY and the mini bypass. They are very similar but the mini is less invasive. If you google the images for mini gastric bypass, they have diagrams to show you the difference. The results of both bypasses are equivalent.

Mindy142 3 Posted July 26, 2016 Hi, I'm in Marion, IN, but having my surgery at IU Carmel. I did consults at both IU and St. Vincents, but decided that IU was the better hospital for me. I have my reasons, and if anyone want to chat about those we can. More than anything I think its important to do your research and choose a facility that is best for you and your needs.

I'm wondering which one to chose between the two myself. I am going for referral from doc in a week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
