I am in Cincinnati Ohio

Good luck on the 25th, thats when I have my consult. Keep me posted on your progress. Do you live close to the office?

Georgiapeach is dr curry your dr also?

Yes he is my Dr.. I have my appt in a couple of hours. I am not sure if i will meet him today. I think so but no so sure.

I hear that he is a great dr hope all goes well for you. I wonder if you will find out your date for surgery today?

That would be nice to have surgery date but havent heard that happening on the 1st appt. Yes I live like 20 minutes away. Im just happy its starting today. I can finally say my Lap band journey is starting, and I will let you know the results later.

My appt went great! I came in turned my paperwork in and they gave me this 376 question form for the psychologist. Then he came and got me. We talked for 20 mins. Then I was weighed and pictures were taken. Finally I was in another room and spoke with Dr. Curry in the flesh. He just asked a few basic questions and told me after I was approved i would have to do a 2 week preop diet. Then insurance lady came in and explained what I needed to have for approval. The last person I spoke with was the Nutritionist. I started my appt at 3:30 and ended at 5:45 ish. It was very smooth and the staff was nice. I had all my questions answered. I think you will also have a great experience with them too.

Lisa, glad everything went smooth, thanks for letting me know, now I know what to expect. I have about a two hour drive there and back. Im a self pay patient, my insurance doesn't cover anything so I'm hoping to have surgery sooner. My brother had his lap band done 2 yrs ago this July and he has lost 109 lbs. I have been thinking about doing this for along time, and then he done it so I thought I would wait and see how he did. I want to tell you a little about myself, I'm 48 diabetic have been for about 20+ years, so that is my main reason I what to do this. I'm sick of having to take two insulin shots a day. I have tried every diet out there and have lost weight only to gain it back plus more. Right now I weigh the most I have ever weighed and I would just like to feel healthy again. I'm super excited for both of us, keep in touch.
