 |  Hi Hoosiers
Hello Hoosiers!
I live in central Indiana and have my surgery in 3 months! Yahoo! I'm having my surgery at St. Vincent, Carmel. I know there are some Indiana people on this website and I hope they pop in here so we can get a feel for our geographic friends!

Hi! I am in Indy, too. My husband and I are having surgery at St. Francis on the southside. I am scheduled for 11/17 and mu hubby's going 12/1. Congratulations! I know the program at St. Vincent is great! We wanted a smaller program with more direct contact. St Francis is great too! Good luck and take care!

Hi there, I am from southern Indiana and had my surgery on May 27 at St. Vincent, Carmel by Dr. Cacucci she and the staff are great!!! I have not had the first problem and have done a nice slow steady weight loss. Good luck to both you and your husband .

Long ago we spent a few years in Jasper, IN, way down south by Evansville. When we moved back to Indiana we lived in Elkhart for a few more years. I still like Indiana, even though I can no longer claim to be a Hoosier!

All I can say is use the booklet the surgeon gives you... I measured my food with the ounce cups and ate often even when I didn't feel like I was hungry. I still sturggle with the protein but I do the best I can with it. My tastes changed so a lot of the stuff I purchased before I had to give away . Stay away from the scales, I did not focus on the pounds I lost but the sizes I dropped because often your body will stall and a week or so goes by with no # lost and that can be very depressing. I attribute my speedy yet uneventful recovery to my great surgeon.. I didn't even have the gas pains that you hear so much about Dr. Cacucci Rocks!!

Thanks, Cathy! I am lucky to be going thru this with a great support group. My mom just sent in her paperwork and should have an approval in the next few days. My husband's best friend and my best friend are both doing this with us, too. My friend is about 12 weeks out and down about 50 pounds. My husband, Nick, and his friend, Matt, are actually going the same day! They are life long best friends and it's so fun to do this with so many great people around us!

Hello to everyone in Indiana!
I live north of Fort Wayne. I had my roux en y surgery done 5 days ago at Lutheran Hospital. Dr. Sloan was my surgeon. So far, everything is OK, except I'm having trouble getting all my food and protein in.
Good luck to all of you.

Hi, Melday! Welcome! Please keep in touch and let us know how you are doing! Getting in water and protein are my biggest fears going in to this for the beginning... I will just take it SLOW! :-) Take care!!

Hi Melday, do the best you can, protein shakes are counted as water you know.. focus on the liquid you really need to keep up on your fulid. As you get farther and farther out it will get easier to get in the daily requirments. I can remember freezing 1/2 crystal lt. in a water bottle then at bedtime filling the bottle the rest the way up with crystal lt. just so I had something cool to sip on all night it really helps. Dehydration is a real problem early on.
I hope you continue doing well and please let us know if we can help you with anything.
Cathy
