  1. Gosh, You have me blushing. I really do like Dr. Curry and his staff. They are so great. I love Erin, the dietitian. She is so funny and we pick at each other. I just absolutely hated the Medifast. I wished I would have known you before I through out all of mine. I threw out about 6 boxes with 6 envelopes in each one. I was on the stuff for 2 weeks and once I found something I liked I stuck to that. I liked the chocolate shake mix, the peanut butter carmel protein bars and the chicken & rice soup wasn't too bad. There were a couple of other things I tolerated but can't remember what they were. Good Luck on your surgery.
  2. don't know what Dr. Curry charges for self pay but he has his own surgery center and there are hotels in the area. But anyway, here's his web site. you can always e mail them. Ihttp://www.thebanddoctor.com/default You may want to contact those obesity lawyers, I'm not sure the name of their web site, obesitylaw.com or something like that. They may be able to help you. By the way, why were you turned down? Peggy
  3. Hi, I started out with OSU's program in 2006, then changed to Dr. Curry in Cincinnati. I met with Dr. Mikami and he told me that they do the band surgery if the patient wants it but don't particularly care for it. I felt I didn't want a Dr. doing lap band surgery on me if he didn't support and believe in the band. So I changed over to Dr. Curry (by that time I read that Dr. Curry was also performing the VSG but my insurance didn't cover it). Any way I have finally completed my journey and received my lap band 4/14. Good Luck in your choice.
