Hello. I believe that I have decided on having my lap band procedure performed by Dr. Curry at JourneyLite in Cincinnati. I have been to the seminars at Mt Carmel West and OSU. I am going to the JourneyLite seminar in Columbus on May 7th and have my surgeon consult/dietician meeting/psych eval in Cincy on May 27th. I am having to pay for this procedure out of my own pocket and Dr. Curry offers the best package.

I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE WHO HAS HAD THEIR LAP BAND PROCEDURE PERFORMED BY DR. CURRY! :smile:

Hi Sweetbean. I don't know anything yet about Dr Curry except what I have been reading on here, but I am going to his seminar in cincinnati on 4/29. Can't wait!! Seems like it has been forever since I scheduled that. I know I have to do a 6 mth diet for insurance so my journey will be long. Good luck. Jenni

Hey guys, I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr C on July 20. I id the 6 month diet with him too. Him and his staff are pretty awesome. They are all cool and down to earth, and I forget the exact number but at last 75% of the staff are bandsters themselves. Not to mention Dr C has had the surgery as well as his wife. They know what they are talking about!

Thats so good to hear unforgettablern. I went to the seminar and have a appt with dr C thurs 5/14 for my initial consult and first appt with the dietitian. Can't wait. Did you lose very much on your 6 mth diet? I always say..."I know how to lose weight, It's keeping it off"

Well to be honest, my BMI of 37 was right at the borderline range as far as my insurance approval goes. So their insurance specialist basically said I have to do the 6 month diet to go through the motions, but they really didn't want me to lose no more than 5 pounds so I could up my chances of being approved by insurance. I think that was harder to do than a normal 6 month diet - they didn't want me to lose to much, but if I gained then that was really bad for insurance too:blink:. I'm just glad that's all over with now and counting down the weeks until surgery.

My BMI is around 43 or 44 so I would like to lose around 25 lbs in these 6 months. I guess I will take one day at a time. Looking forward to starting the 6 mth journey this Thursday. Wish me luck!! Hopefully your surgery wait time will go fast!!

I was banded by Dr. Curry on January 12th and have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff. Like someone else said, the majority of his staff is banded, and so is he. I was self pay as well, and his prices with aftercare and all is one of the best around.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
