I agree. Dr. Inman is the best of the best in Indiana. Keep in contact with Colleen via email. She is pretty good about following up on emails. Patience, the paperwork will take time. I had to wait a year from my consult until my surgery date.

Topic: Six Months out yesterday! with pictures
On the journey to losing weight, your friends & family will be the first people to try to knock you off. They do this not out spite, but out of being convicted and knowing they should do the same. It's easier to put someone down for doing the right thing, than for them to actually do it. So at your next family re-union or wherever you are eat your chicken and broccoli and smile when they make jokes about you, they are jealous!
Hey y'all I thought I would up date you. Two years ago on Jan 31, 08 I had the VSG. The March 24,10 I has the second part of the DS. I also had DS surgery on my 22 birthday. Here two pictres to so you how I have done so far with wls. Since the DS I have lost 76 pounds
The first one was taken in Dec 2007 I was 500 pounds :-(
This one was taken last night I'm right now at 304 pounds :) 104 pounds to go.

Yes, I remember you now. We will be coming to the support group. I need all the help I can get. I'm getting antsy for a date. My daughter is having hers (RNY) on Nov. 3rd. So I will be down there at St. Vincents with her and that will help me not be so nervous when my time comes. I'll kind of get the swing of things with her. She only lives a few miles from Carmel in Westfield. So we are going through this together. Pam
Topic: RE: Lifestyle Discovery Class???
I have been put on hold for 6 weeks by St. V. told my paperwork hadn't arrived. this was untrue. I was being given the runaround. For What reason? I will never know but MY opinion of the bariatric center. Well before this date I would have recommended them to anyone, now not so much. I don't mind being patient to to be right out told for 6 weeks that a faxed report hasn't come in yet when its been sitting on a nurses desk for at least 4 weeks is unethical. I will never recommend but hope to get this "lifestyle class done with and the surgery behind me. I have been put on hold for 2 years with "do this" now "go here" that I hope I can relax get finished with St v and never... well:] Otherwise, there are hundreds of other WLS clinic in the US and abroad, right? smooches

Plastics was self-paid, no insurance. So far arms don't hurt at all. All stomach pain.

Hi! Yes, I remember you. Did your insurance pay for the procedure? You will be so thrilled when the swelling goes down. My niece had RNY and she was able to have a lower lift and she looks great. She has kept her weight off too. I wonder if having all that skin removed helps keep the weight off.
So you say the arms don't hurt? Someone was telling me yesterday that they heard that the arm surgery is very painful. Pam
