  1. Is Dr. Curry a good doctor? How's his bedside manner?
  2. I just looked at my insurance benefits and it looks like they pay 80% on bariatric surgery. Is that typical? Is it good?
  3. Great. Thank you. I need to get to work then. I haven't even gone to a doctor or anything yet. Thanks again.
  4. @Unenouvellevie thank you. That's what I like to hear, positive experiences.
  5. I just made the decision to have the sleeve done. I haven't been to any drs. yet. What should be my first step? I read all the info on the Christ Hospital website about Dr. Curry and I'm ready to get the ball rolling. Any help would be great. Congratulations on your successful surgeries.
  6. I live near Wilmington and go to Dayton every week. I am just starting to think about having this surgery done. I would love to talk to people who are going through or have already been through all of this. Where should I start? Who are the best surgeons in the Cincinnati/Dayton area for the VSG? Do any of you have Cigna? How was the insurance approval like with them? Those are the types of questions I have.
  7. Does anyone have any experience with Cigna Insurance? That's who I have and I don't know what their policy is on this subject yet. I just started thinking about getting this done 2 days ago.
  8. Hi I'm new here. I am trying to research everything before I even go to a Dr. How long is the recovery time for the sleeve? I want to get WLS done, but I don't want to be off work for a really long time. Also, I've only had one surgery in my life, tubal ligation, which was extremely painful for a couple weeks. How painful is the sleeve surgery post-op? Thank you for any help you can give.
