I had a very easy time. I had no pain and no nausea. Extreme tiredness is the only thing I've had with this surgery and I guess that's to be expected. I've taken it very slowly on my progression from liquids to pureed foods to soft foods and it must have paid off because I haven't had any problems so far. Is your surgery scheduled yet?

I'm in the country of Cincinnati. Goshen Ohio. I have about 2 more months if I pass the rest of the hoops and I will be on my way. Maybe we should get a group together. I'm sure there are more in Cinti area around. Let's keep in contact.

I live in Dayton but went to Dr. Curry. I grew up in Cincy and my family is there so I stayed with them after surgery. My aunt referred us to Dr. Curry and he was the cheapest I looked at since I was self-pay. Have you enjoyed your experience there so far?

Btw, you're not the only one... there are a few others here who have had Dr. Curry. You can search by doctor.

P.S. I'm 7 weeks out. You can message me if you have any questions!

I can't say I was 100% satisfied with everything but it was pretty minor complaints (mostly at JourneyLite, not Dr. Curry's staff) and overall it was a good experience. I did 4 1/2 months of Adipex and worked with Rebecca because Dr. Curry wanted me to lose weight before surgery. I love that so many of them have had surgery themselves and understand 100% what's going on. They are all so positive and realistic! I think that's a lot of the reason I've been successful, they had more faith in me than I did.

The surgery itself wasn't too bad. It was kind of surreal and went so quickly. (From what I've read on here, we have it pretty easy compared to some doctors.) Besides being a little hysterical coming out of anesthesia, I didn't have any problems. Of course there was a little pain immediately after but I was off pain and nausea meds at 3 or 4 days post-op. I didn't get much sleep while in the "hospital" (I don't know what to call JourneyLite lol) but I was home the next morning and slept the rest of the day. The worst thing is just the lack of energy and fatigue, which I'm still battling. One of my biggest pieces of advice is not to push yourself... take it easy, sleep if you need to and don't feel guilty for just resting.

Well that's good that there isn't anything to major to worry about with his staff.. but I was wondering what journeylite was maybe he told me and I just forgot or something heh. I haven't heard anything yet about him telling me to lose weight before the surgery, i weigh about 267ish and they told me I'm on the line for the 1 or 2 week pre op diet.. so I gotta push myself a little bit.. I'm already scared about that diet. haha, I'm also scared because i don't like other people taking care of me, and I don't wanna be helpless after the surgery lol also did you lose any hair? I'm not looking forward to that..

JourneyLite is the surgery center in the same building as his Evendale office. It's where you have surgery, if you're doing the 23 hour or outpatient stay, across from Fast Track. It's separate from his practice. It's not like an actual hospital. You will see it when you do your consent visit and nutrition class.

I haven't noticed any hair loss yet but, from what I've read, that happens around 3 months out and I'm not even 2.

I don't live here but I'm currently visiting Fairfield, OH. My in-laws are here so we visit several times a year. I researched Dr. Curry, too, (along with Dr. Nick in Plano, TX) but ultimately opted to go with Dr. Aceves. Dr. Curry's staff was very helpful and friendly when I was doing my research, though.

We should do a meetup! I never get to talk to sleevers in real life. :)

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
