I know this thread hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but if anyone reads this- I am newly banded and out of Cincinnati. Dr. Trace Curry is my physician. I am looking for Cincinnati friends!!!!!

Hello, I'm not in Cinni but the Columbus area, I just stumbled acrossed Dr. Curry's website, as I have a BMI less than 35 but I have serveral co-morbity conditions. I noticed he is the only Dr I can find around here that takes some patients with BMI's between 30 - 35. Now I don't know if my insurance will go for it, but I would be willing to pay out of pocket, I noticed on another post you metioned you were self pay, and insight as to how much it costs, payments plans anything would be appreciated.

How are things going for you since your surgery? Looking forwarding to hearing from you!

I'm not self pay... Perhaps you got me confused with someone else? :) things are good though. Surgery was June 4th. No complaints, other than the fact I'm anxiously awaiting my first fill! Lol

Hi Ren, I went to Curry and paid $13,000 for the surgery, just had the surgery July 9 if you have any questions. You have to pay for your pre-op diet too, which they supply (Medifast). I had to do it for 2 weeks and paid $188.00 for this. And then there's the psych eval which cost $200.00, which was cheaper than sending it through my insurance, you may have a better option. The $13,000 is for surgery at Journeylite which is the same building as Dr. Curry. If you get it at Jewish I believe it was about $1,000 more, but don't quote me on that.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
