Hello, My name is Traci and I chose to have the lapband surgery when my weight topped out at over 335 lbs this time last year.(2007) I had my first consult with Dr. McEwen April 12, and had my surgery May 31, 2007. I have never felt better than I do now, and I am learning each and every day that it takes more than the band to help me loose. It takes my committment, my desire, my physical activity, and desire to continue to be healthier.
To date, from 335, I am down to 247 lbs.
Since I first saw Doc in April, I am down from 318.
So……continuing my journey, as this is a lifetime committment to ME!
Thanks to all the support from Doc McEwen’s office and there staff….It means allot to me to be able to scream and shout and get excited when I loose…..
This is the best money I ever spent. My weight loss has been very steady. So far, I’ve lost 35 pounds (in less than four months) and I work out for 30 minutes per day five days a week. This is so much more effective than all of the diet programs, diet books, or diet foods, I’ve tried before. I would recommend it to anyone with 50+ pounds to lose.
I would like to thank Dr McEwen and his staff for a great experience. With the LapBand System I have lost 50 pounds since Oct 2007. This is a tool and a great one. I was concerned with the cravings that I had before the surgery. I just don’t have the cravings like before. I feel SO MUCH better and have more energy. I just want to thank the whole team.
Thank you Dr McEwen and Cheryl for chaging my life.
I could have never done this on my own, now i look and feel great!

Dr. McEwen, Cheryl, Jessica and Alvin as well as all of the staff at Indiana Surgery Center have made this journey of mine a dream come true. The lapband is a tool that I am thankful to have.

You will never be the same. You are worth it!
My new healthy journey started 10-10-2007, I am down 60 pounds !!!!!!!
I had my Lapband surgery on April 10, 2007. I am down 60 pounds! I can’t put in to words how this experience has changed my life. I am a more energetic mom, wife, teacher, etc. The support from Dr. McEwen, Cheryl, Jessic, & ALvin has been phenomenal. I truly feel they are with us for the long haul. This is definitely the best investment a person can make for themselves. I have no regrets with my decsion.
I had my lapband placed in 11/29/07 and have lost 27 lbs since it was placed. My total weight loss is 47 lbs, having lost 20 lbs prior to surgery. I do appreciate everyone in Dr. McEwen’s office for their support and expertise.
Since Sept. 21, 2006, I have lost 79 pounds, (started at 236 lbs) and am feeling great! I exercise about 4 times a week. This is the first holiday in my entire life, that I never had to go on a diet with the the rest of my girlfriends at the beginning of the year because of the excess weight I would gain. Because I DIDN’T GAIN ANY, in fact I lost 5 lbs. My lapband helped me get through it! Thanks Dr. Mc Ewen for everything. You have totally changed my life!
This is a great forum for current and future band-ers to get together and discuss likes and dislikes! Thanks to Cheryl and Dr McEwen for putting this together.
I’m exactly 1 year out from surgery and have almost lost 60lbs. It’s a long hard road, but I could never have done it without the surgery and the support of the staff!
I am down 40 pounds but with a Low BMI to start with I am almost at goal. I am glad Dr McEwen offers private program LapBand for those of us without insurance for the Lap Band. I would recommend Dr McEwen to anyone who wants a LapBand!
Hello, my name is Nancy and I had my surgery 8-20-07 with Dr. McEwen. He is a wonderful and caring doctor and I feel blessed that I found him. His office is a great support and make me feel special. As of 2-14-08 I have lost 50 lbs. I know that I could have never done this on my own and with their help and my family I am getting back to a healthy person again. I hope all keep up the good work and may we all succeed to our goals.
I had my ‘banding’ on January 31, 2008. I have lost 25 pounds since first meeting Dr. McEwen. Just received my first adjustment and I feel a little ‘restriction’ now. We all have been told losing weight will still be work……and it is. I have found the things I hate the worst (ie, journaling) are the things that I most need to do. Drinking the water helps in many ways, so drink up! 🙂
I had Lap-Band surgery Sept 27,2007 I started at 243 I am now 175 and I feel great. Thank you Dr. McEwen and Cheryl you are great. I have done so well now my mother is going to have Lap- Band.
