These professionals ( of course, the one you speak of is anything but), need to be trained that there is a psychological component that goes along with bariatric treatment, and that many of us have endured bad treatment from those in the medical profession, much less society in general. The primary reason I stopped going to St. V's support groups was because of one dietitian in particular. I haven't seen her in quite some time, so perhaps she's gone. Thank God I only have a year and a half left of these treks to Carmel! I could use the money on a new outfit! Remember, Kami is a physician's assistant, which means she has someone to answer to - make sure that happens!  |

I will soon have Anthem insurance (my soon to be hubby works for Toyota in Southern Indiana) and was wondering what hoops I might have to go through to get approved for WLS. I know they cover it pretty good, but didn't know what to expect...ie: 6 months pre-op diet/nutritionist...what kind of labs/tests...psych eval/counseling. Any input would be great. |

 Newburgh, IN Member Since: 09/21/11 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 5/2/12 10:00 pm Topic: RE: anyone have Dr Haughn in Evansville as their surgeon? Preop is Optifast for 7 days. Women get a choice of 7 products a day. There are 3 flavors of drinks, 2 flavors soup and 2 flavors of bars. You can only eat 2 bars and soups a day. I tried the chicken soup and thought it was horrible. The other flavor is tomato ugh. I'm going to get drinks and maximum bars. Cost is about $100 for 49 servings. On the 8th day which is day before surgery it is clear liquid only. |

I probably won't be having my surgery until August. What is your pre-op diet like? I asked about it because I was curious and Dr Koehler said "one step at a time" haha |

 RNY (03/27/12) Member Since: 07/23/11[Latest Posts] | Post Date: 5/1/12 4:27 pm Topic: RE: Kami Shaw-PAC-Meridian Surgical Group-MAJOR dissappointment I have Dr Inman, and while I do like her alot. I feel very rushed when she sees me. At my one month checkup, she didnt even bother to look at my incisions, and I paid a $40 co pay for a (less than) 3 minute visit.... I was a bit disappointed, and hope it is better next time. I do agree with the rest that you should writ a letter of complaint aganst that NP. No one deserves to be treated in that manner. No one.  |

During my orientation, there was a woman who is also seeking a revision. I have been seeing Dr. Scott Mimms (he used to be at IU Health). I have also found him to be a very patient, kind, and plain spoken individual. If you are looking for options, I would add him to your list.  |

I went to the initial seminar and met with her and now am in the process of all the preliminary work. I would suggest calling and speaking with them to see about her policy. I know there are alot more things I am having to do for the revision than I did for my initial band surgery. 8.25 cc in a 14cc band! Port Revision 6/3/2008-New starting point! |

My surgeon is Dr. Cacucci. She is in control. I LOVE her. She will make sure you get good treatment. I have seen Kami and I do like her. I have had several surgeries with Dr. C. I am 7.5 years out. I would call and tell them of your complaint. I know Dr. C would jump her case for treating a patient of hers like that.. I don't know about your surgeon, Anyway I AM sorry you were treated like that, It is uncalled for! Rhonda Shelley 09-01-2004 RNY Gastric Bypass 03--4-2008 170 lbs.  |

Had my 2 year surgiversity in Jan and have not been back to surgeons office or st Carmel in over a year. I was pretty disappointed in last treatment. I am looking into switching if possible to a closer site for follow up care, hope I can do that!
