Topic: 2nd try for lapband
* I lost 7 lbs. on the pre-op diet.*
Two years ago I went thru the six months of required dr./nutrtion visits only to be turned down TWICE! Now with a different insurance company, I am going to try once again. I have to do the six months again, but yet I feel better prepared and more determined this time. I guess everything happens for a reason.

Topic: RE: Fills in KY
My office has never had any extra charge for coming from elsewhere or a program fee that others have. Our fees are lower than this, depending on the specific situation. i.e. included as part of total surgery 'package', vs. insurance, etc. Please call office for specific questions.

From what I've been reading on the Main OH Main Message Board, she has seen some of Dr. Husted patients, and she does revisions. You might want to call her office and also look her up on the DS surgeons in Indiana.
I very interested in what types of insurance she accepts. I have Humana EPO. Hopefully I find out soon...
Good Luck to you...

Topic: RE: head hunger
hello, I'm a therapist with the bariatric center, and I just wanted to offer some advice to you about head hunger. I think it's important to be mindful of your feelings at the time you are wanting to eat. If you are not really hungry, then it's often useful to find something to do in order to distract yourself and get your mind off food. If you have any specific hobbies or interests, then they can come in handy during times like these. Even talking to a friend or journaling is helpful.
If you are at work, you may want to practice any relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or stepping away from your desk to get some air and take a walk. Finding a project to busy yourself is also helpful in getting your mind off food. Hope this helps. Good luck! :)

Topic: RE: head hunger
I know for me when I start having head hunger I need to lower my carbs a bit and that usually takes care of any hunger I have, yes the first day or two it is hard but once you do get them down lower you don't have any hunger at all.
Also, it was recommended to me that when I did have head hunger to get up and walk or do something out of your routine and that normally gets rid of it.

Topic: head hunger
Help!! I have a big problem with head hunger and I want to sit and graze all day at work. I have tried all kinds of things and I cant kick it. I feel like I have fallen off track and dont know how to get back on. Any suggestions?
Topic: RE: 4 yr anniversary and disgusted!!!
Agree with the previous posters, DON'T give up! I'm an RNY to DS revision. Best thing I've ever done for myself. Keep researching, and realize you might have to step out of this area to get it done.
Topic: RE: RNY Revision
I would NEVER go from a proximal to distal RNY. You need to research a revision to the DS. I know Dr. Husted is gone from KY, but there are other capable surgeons. You'll just need to travel a bit.
Topic: RE: RNY Revision
I'm not sure about specific RNY proximal to distal revisions, but you could check out Centennial Bariatrics in Nashville. I am trying to get insurance to approve a revision from LapBand to DS with Dr. Houston in their practice. Also, there is Dr. Spaw in Nashville and Dr. Inman in Indiana. Also, I think there may be a surgical group in Bowling Green Ohio that may do revisions. Good luck!
Topic: RNY Revision
Does anyone know of a good surgeon in the Midwest area (KY, TN, IN, IL) that does revisions from proximal to the distal RNY? I had surgery 4 years ago and it was supposed to have been a distal and I even asked my surgeon about it and he said that he did the distal but I found out that he did the proximal. Thank you, Cherri
