My surgery is not until 1/14. My nutrition class is not until 1/3, but would love a buddy to start having someone to relate with all this anxiety! I am excited and anxious and could use experience from a fellow patient!

YAY to everyone and their surgeries!! I hope everyone is doing great!!! I am having surgery April 8th at JourneyLite with of course Dr. Curry. I am excited and scared in one. I'm also worried my mom is going to have a major break down before this is over due to worrying about me. Iol.

I just had my NUT class etc etc. Yesterday and got my food for my 4 week diet. I'm shocked at what I can eat. How much did you girls lose on your pre-opt diet? I have to lose 20 pounds before the 8th. I hope I can do it.

Hi. I am in Cincy also. I am at the VERY EARLY stages of this process. I plan on going through UC Weight Loss, Dr. Watkins.

So what made everyone choose the surgeon they did? How did you find out about him or her?

I first heard of Dr. Curry after my cousin had WLS. She really talked highly of him. So when I decided to have surgery I of course checked him out, and did my research. I did look at other surgeons in the Dayton area. I just didn't feel as comfortable with anyone else.

I am also self pay and honestly thought that I would walk in the office and they would just give me a date and start on all my pre-opt testing etc. Boy was I wrong.. I had to lose weight and lower my BMI. First. I am very thankful for that now.

I researched and heard good things about my doc....so that's the reason I picked him. I've heard great things about Dr. Curry, too! My insurance wouldn't cover treatment at journey lite....so I couldn't go to him.

I researched area doctors and I have a friend who used him for lap band.

Well your on your way!

I just had my sleeve done a week ago with Dr Curry. Sounds like you all are pros about this and hopefully will help me! I live NW of Cincinnati in Ross Township. The hardest part about all of this is the mind is wanting but the body isn't. I see commercials on tv and my own family eating and its really hard. Tomorrow is my first one week after appointment with Dr. Curry and I am ready! I have to admit, I have chewed and spit this week just to get through it. Clear liquids is hard, but just being on this webpage has helped me realize why I am doing all this!

Thanks for the local support!

Hello sheila. Aww. It gets better everyday. I really didn't have the head hunger. I had to make myself eat. Maybe some of the other ladies can help you with the head hunger stuff. Good luck

I have an appt with dr curry today too.

How are you feeling? How was the pain afterward did you have a lot of gas pains? I have surgery on April 8th (21 days)!!! Aside from the fear of not waking up, the gas pain, and pain in general freaks me out! How was your recovery?

I'm starting to think I am the only one who doesn't have an appointment with Dr. Curry sometime this week. I don't think I'll see him again until my surgery day. lol.

I have Dr Curry to get sleeved. I am in the 6month supervised diet phase. No date set yet.
