July 10, 201115 yr I started back in January with my 6 month dieting which was required by my insurance. I just went through my preop testing. I have surgery on Wednesday. I'm getting nervous.
July 11, 201115 yr I am 9 months post op and had my surgery at The Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati. I live outside of Cincinnati. Anyone else close to me?
July 11, 201115 yr Author Good luck this week!!!! I started back in January with my 6 month dieting which was required by my insurance. I just went through my preop testing. I have surgery on Wednesday. I'm getting nervous.
July 13, 201115 yr My insurance doesn't cover any form of WLS, and as a self pay patient, my only option was Mexico! After TONS of research I decided on Dr Ramos- Kelly and I am scheduled for July 25th. I was originally scheduled for July 12th, but had to reschedule I am so very excited and cannot wait to start my life on the losers bench!!!
July 14, 201115 yr Hello everyone! My name is Ashley and me and my husband had our sleeves by Dr. Trace Curry at Journy Lite in Cincinnati. We had our surgery June 30th. We both did very well and went home the next day. We are doing pretty good with eating. We are on purees right now and not able to eat a whole lot at once but we eat 6 times a day. I have lost 22 pounds so far, and my husband has lost 30 pounds. We are still adjusting to everything and dealing with "head hunger". Im really hoping that goes away soon. All I think about is ice cream. But it is still the best thing I have ever done for myself and am so happy I did it!! We are open to any questions and would love any advice! Thanks! Love this site!
July 14, 201115 yr Hi Ashley, Congrats on your and your hubby's sleeves!! I'm going in today for final nut class with Dr Curry also...what did you think of Journey lite? 22 pounds is great!! (so is 30 on hubby!) Continued good luck! Gayle
July 15, 201115 yr Author I'm in the Columbus area, but I'm not thrilled with my options locally. I've been researching Dr. Curry and JourneyLite. So happy others on here have used him successfully!
July 15, 201115 yr 5Mck, they are winderful at Dr Curry's office and your follow up can be done here in columbus area (they have an office in grove city now). Good luck!
July 31, 201114 yr I am also a patient of Dr. Curry. I am having a band to sleeve revision on 8/9/11. Excited, but scared.. Afraid of failure and afraid of leaks...The band has not worked at all for me...was banded in 2007.
July 31, 201114 yr Welcome Red Dress Girl! I know you can do this...the revision will be the change you have been waiting for. It will make your life different! Good luck!

August 3, 201114 yr Jenni, I was sleeved by Dr. Northup 3 weeks ago. You're right, he and his staff are the best! I hope to meet you at a support group meeting soon.
