I am going for my consult on Nov. 7 with Dr. Trace Curry in Cincinnati Ohio!! YAY this is a long time coming for me! Anyway I was wondering what are some of the pre-opt test they do before surgery? I know that every dr. is different, and have different requirements, but I just want to get an idea of what's to come and how much poking and pricking I'm going to have to endure..lol. It would be awesome to hear from some of Curry's patients also! If there are any!

Thanks!

_{I am patient of Dr. Curry. I had surgery on 9/24. First you will be measured, weight taken, photos, tehn you talk with Dr Curry, his ass't, the insurance person, the nutrition person, the pyschologist. Once you are approved for surgery, then you have to go to a nutrition class, bllod work taken and finally a endo scope where they put you in lolla land and run a scope down your throat and check your espogages (sp) and stomach for any problems. Then surgery after at least a two week diet. He is one of the best in the area his staff is OUTSTANDING. I have had zero complications and have lost almost 50lbs pre and post surgery.}

Does he do a leak test after surgery?

I'm a patient of Dr. Curry. Sleeved 8/6/12, down 60 lbs. and zero complications or food intolerances. Haven't slimed or thrown up once! They are great! He does not do a leak test unless you have problems. Good luck and hang in there. It will change your life.
