Hi, I live in Marion, IN, and going through the process to have surgery at IU Carmel. I did consults at both IU Carmel and St. Vincents, but felt the IU program was the best fit for me.

I understand...just reading about both..I felt St. Vincent was better for me. Which stage are you in?

I am still doing my supervised weightloss visits. I'll be on visit 4 next month. They are both great hospitals.

I will also be a weightloss visit number 4 next month.

The part I'm dreading the most is the psych evaluation.

I've done my psych eval, it wasn't bad, be honest and open. It's part of the making sure you will be successful in this journey.

Thanks for the advice. I'm sure I'm ready but then I think I get into my head to much.

Hi Kelsey! I am in the 6 month waiting process that my insurance requires for supervised weight loss program. I live in Lafayette and am as well going to

St V. Carmel. I had my initial consult, psych eval and the psych eval required me to meet with a therapist 6 times over 3 months and submitt a letter to him. I had the lap bad for 7 years, it slipped and I had it removed. Doubled my weight in a year and then got my ah-ha moment in March of this year.

My 6 months is up next month, have remained the same weight.

Tell me about what all you have had done and where your at?

I live near Bloomington. I'm in my sixth month journey and am in my 4th month. I need to schedule my psych eval still. As of my last visit with my PCP I had lost around 10 pounds since the initial consult with the surgeon in April.

I am still needing someone who is going through the same thing as I as I am to lean on and talk about things to that I can't really talk to my family about because they don't always understand.

St. Vincent at the consult told us to go through our PCP or we could use a doctor there but it would be better to go with the PCP because they know our history. I'm doing what I was told if insurance doesn't approve I will appeal. Thank you for the heads up.

I don't know about insurance being a big pain...I'm sure they are, because they don't understand what we are going through. I know my insurance covers it at St. Vincent so I'm hoping after everything is done...I'm good to go.
