Anyone use Dr Trace Curry in Cincinnati?

I was a patient of Dr. Curry when I had my lap band several years ago. When he removed my lap band, he offered to convert me to a gastric sleeve, but I declined at that time.

I chose Dr. Curry after I lost faith in my original surgeon. (The original surgeon misdiagnosed gall bladder problems as anxiety, causing me to suffer for nearly 6 months.) Dr. Curry had an excellent reputation and I drove almost 4 hours to see him because I trusted him to help me. I also liked that he was easily accessible. Back then, he was very active on another obesity/bariatric social forum like Bariatricpal and I really appreciated what he was doing for the obese community. Dr. Curry was easy to talk to and I felt he took his time with his patients to explain things. He always made me feel comfortable and confident about everything we did/did not do. If I hadn't moved to Texas, I might have gone back to him when I reached the point where I was ready for the sleeve.

One minor complaint and it's not Dr. Curry's fault. When he took out my lap band, his office "forgot" to get insurance approval before doing it. I had a lot of after the fact fighting with the insurance company to get it covered and avoid being taken to collections.

I switched to Dr. Curry’s office after I had my LapBand done in 2013. I am scheduled for a band to sleeve revision on the 28th if this Monday.
