    I'm in Ohio! About 60 miles north of Cincinnati. Hope to have my sleeve done in November...waiting on insurance. Best of luck to you!

  • I just had my sleeve last week (1/27/14) with Dr. Watkins in West Chester, OH. But I live in NKy. After my first 3-4 days, things have gone very well!!!

Hello all, I have one more month to meet my insurance requirements before approval. Once my approval has been received I'll be setting my surgery date. I'm hoping for the end of March. I live on the east side of Cincinnati and looking for a support group of fellow sleever's in the greater Cincinnati area. If anyone has any information on a support group I would appreciate the info.

I am in Xenia Ohio (outside Dayton). Had my sleeve done in May 2013 by Dr. Trace Curry in Cincinnati. Great job - I've hit my goal weight & I'm happy happy happy!

I know a couple of people who went with DR Curry and now I don't know what to do because I think going with Dr Watkins office maybe wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than I expected.I thought going to Nutrionist would meet the requirement for the diet part but I guess not...anyone have any help for me

Lynn2win,

I called my insurance and the requirements were 6 months supervised visits, BMI 35 or higher, comorbidity. I also had then email me a copy of the requirement for my policy. So as long as you meet your insurance requirements there shouldn't be a problem, at least that's my understanding.

Hello RubyDoobie,

I live in Bethel, Ohio, a small town about 40 miles from downtown Cincinnati. I'm so glad to hear your surgery went so well because Dr. Curry will be doing mine. I have my 6th visit Feb. 19th then they'll submit everything to insurance for approval, then we can set my surgery date. I'm hoping I'll be sleeved the end of March.

Boy, do I have a ton of question to ask you!

How long after your approval was your surgery date set?
Did you have your surgery done at the Life Center or in a Hospital?
How long were you there after surgery?
How was the experience?
What protein drink did you like best?
How much weight did you have to loose and have you lost?
How soon were you back to work?
Did you have a drain?

I'm so sorry for the tons of questions but your the first person I've had contact with who is a Dr. Curry patient.
