Anyone had or having sleeve done in Cincinnati area?

I am not looking forward to it. But I know it's one step closer to my surgery. I am having my surgery in Cincinnati Ohio.

Hi Molly! Best of luck to you! I had my surgery at Dr. Trace Curry's office, journey light

Angie that's where I am having my surgery and Dr. Curry is my sugeron. ????

Awesome!! Their staff is AMAZING! I was out of there in four hours when I got my surgery.

That makes me feel so much better!!! I really like the staff. They are all so nice. When did you have your surgery?

I had surgery on may 11th. I'm down 81lbs and I feel awesome! Did you ever think it was possible to get sick of people telling you how good you look? That's what will happen to you

That's awesome!!! No I can't imagine how that feels???? how hard was the pre op diet?

The food wasn't great. I recommend getting the rice based snack bars because the other ones taste like clay. You'll be super hungry but just remember it's only temporary. I are lots of mashed potatoes (the medifast kind) and when I couldn't take it anymore, I ate a piece of grilled chicken. I lost 14 lbs which they seemed happy with. I encourage you to have a last meal and pig out before you start because those days will be completely gone. It's worth it though!

I'm from the Dayton area. Got mine done this past Monday on August 17th!

Awesome! How are you feeling?

I'm doing great! I've been completely off all my pain medications since Wednesday and I've been walking around since 2 hours after my sugery. I'm very blessed! How about yourself?

I'm glad to hear it! The pain wasn't bad at all for me either. I'm fully healed and able to eat whatever I want by this point. I like salad and crackers since they don't seem to sneak up on you and make you uncomfortable after eating. I don't really like anything with bread anymore since it makes me feel like I'm going to explode.

I would love to start a Cincinnati support group. On the east side near Eastgate / Anderson .. I would love to do clothes swaps and bariatric friendly pot luck dinners BYOT (Bring Your Own Tupperware ) lol let me know if anyone is interested

I am also from the Dayton area and had my sleeve on August 18th! I'm looking for a buddy to help along this journey!
