Any Indiana WLS beginners?

[KiciJourny 8]

I just started my 6 month dietitian classes requirement for WLS. I choose RNY procedure, it would be great to find some support

I live in Indiana near Southwest Ohio. I had the sleeve done in February 2012 but I haven't had a lot of luck with it.

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!

Where did you have your procedure done at? And what is a mini gastric bypass?

[karieship 6]

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.

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.

I live in Northwest Indiana. Just had a band removal and in 3 months will be having the Gastric Bypass surgery. Looking for a buddy/friend/mentor or someone who is familiar with it to go through it with me.

Sandy, congratulations on your successful surgery. I am reading different posts about the incisions. What type of incision did you get for the Gastric Bypass surgery?
