Topic: RE: Healthy Indiana Plan
I have HIP. I had surgery on Feb 5th and was 294 lbs (at 5 ft tall) and have already lost over 90 lbs!!! I did not have to do the 6 moths monitoring, but I had several co-morbidities and had been seeing my GP on a regular basis for them. Maybe that counts???
Good luck!
Good luck!
Topic: RE: Blind Loop Syndrome
Wow! I haven't heard about Blind loop syndrome....ever besides what my mom told me!
My great grandma had such horrible ulcers that they had to remove a big portion of her stomach, and back in those days, there was no such thing as gastric bypass. They didn't find out what happened to her untill she died. So I've never heard of a positive outcome of blind loop syndrome, just the one about my GG mother having it when she died. She did get realllly skinny cause the food wasn't going to nourish her..
Good luck and I'm glad they were able to correct it for you!

Topic: RE: Liver Reduction Diet
I also go to Clarian Bariatrics & the liver reduction was hard for me at first. I am almost to my 5 month weigh in. I found that Morning Star products are good for the diet, they have a lot of good food that is veggie that doesn't taste veggie. I also am a carb eater & not at all have ever ate or wanted to eat veggies, but it helps, I found all the MS products @ Walmart.
Topic: RE: Healthy Indiana Plan
I also have HIP and yes, they will make you do 6 months supervised medical weight loss. I have several comorbidities and it made no difference in my case.
I was also told not to skip a month or they will make you start all over at month one until you complete 6 consecutive months of supervise med. weight loss.
Start now and it will be over before you know it...good luck!

Topic: RE: NEW INDIANA GROUP FOR INDIANA MEMBERS!
Hi, I'm Sandy in Rockville, IN just west of Indianapolis. I have my psych appointment this Thursday and surgery in the near future. I am 55 and weight around 245# and 5;6". I've been up and down for 30 years and tired of it. My legs are getting sore and I have heal spurs along with all the other things we deal with. So, I'm commited to loosing the weight with the help of this surgery. I love this site and have enjoyed reading the past couple of weeks and decided to join. My surgery will be at Clarian North in Carmel within the next few months. Thanks for all the great support.
Topic: RE: Healthy Indiana Plan
I have HIP insurance and had to do six months supervised weightloss. Final appointment the 22nd of Oct. with Dr. Evanson . Will ley you know how long it takes after that.
Topic: Healthy Indiana Plan
Im just curious if anyone else has the HIP insurance and have had the surgery.
Im also wondering if anyone who had HIP were made to do the 6 months of documented weight loss attempts under docs supervision.
I was told that sometimes if you have comorbidities they will approve you if you havent had the 6 months of montering...just wondering how long Im going to have to wait.

Topic: RE: NEW INDIANA GROUP FOR INDIANA MEMBERS!
Thanks, now I just hope I can remember that. 
Between work and on here there are so many different ways to get to places I get confused. 
I am only one, But still, I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do
the something that I can do.
