As anyone had surgery or seen Dr. Curry before? I'm having surgery with him Monday and so far it had been great!

Dr Curry patient here. I traveled from central Ohio and had surgery in June at the JourneyLite facility. JourneyLite is outpatient only I believe, they had me up and walking within an hour of waking up and after 4 hours I left the facility to go to a nearby hotel so I could be close if there was a complication. I had very little pain and nausea.

After the night in the hotel room I went straight home and didn't need to see the doctor again until my 2 week post op appointment. Since then I've had one more appointment at about 5 weeks and my next one is in 2 weeks.

@SheriL1... there are support groups. I get emails for them but since they're 2 hours away for me I don't go although he did have one in central Ohio last month. It was about plastic surgery and since I'm only 2 months out, I skipped it.

I have to say my experience with Dr Curry's office has been a very positive one. I think you're in good hands.

@Unenouvellevie thank you. That's what I like to hear, positive experiences.

I just looked at my insurance benefits and it looks like they pay 80% on bariatric surgery. Is that typical? Is it good?

That I can't answer. My insurance won't pay for any weight loss procedures. I had to self pay. Sounds good to me for that reason

With 80/20 plans there is usually an out of pocket limit per year. It's the limit of what you'll pay out of pocket before your plan starts paying 100%. Check to see what yours is.

Okay thanks again.

Is Dr. Curry a good doctor? How's his bedside manner?

He made me feel very comfortable and makes sure you have information, which I love. He'll make sure you have his email address and answers quickly if you have a question. His whole office is a no-shame zone and they do not judge you. I'm so happy I chose him as my doctor. I drove two hours to have surgery with him when there are qualified surgeons right here where I live.

Make sure you ask him any question you have.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have Trace Curry’s email address they could share with me? I am considering the sleeve surgery and would like to ask him specifically a few questions. I know I can email the Journeylite facility, but I can’t find just his email address. Thanks!
