Any bandsters in central pa?



Recommended Posts

I am hoping to have surgery in October or November and was wondering if there are others in this area who had the surgery, what clinic did you use and the results. I still question if this is the right thing for me...

Hi... I am in Carlisle, near Harrisburg. My surgery is on Aug. 7th and I go to the Weight Loss Center in Harrisburg. All the doctors there are very good and come highly rated! I would go there if I were you... Good luck!

Mine is Currie. Are you nervious? I am kind of freaking out a little... :-)

It seems like they don't have a lot of time to answer many questions, so I pretty much do my own research. I am really hoping the band is the best choice for me. Since I am "self-pay" it would be nice to know for sure that it is the right choice... but I am willing to try anything at this point.

I wish you the best!

I am very nervous! Excited, but very nervous. I am hoping that this is what I need to help me get the weight off, but I too have been wondering if this is going to help me the way I need it. I have been thinking to myself that I should get gastric instead.... but I know I don't want that. I am sure the lap band will work for both of us as long as we use it as a tool, like it's intended to. We both need to excersise and eat the proper things after surgery. Good luck!!!

Dr. Currie did my surgery at Washington County Hospital in Hagerstown, MD on Dec. 3, 2008.

Currie did my wife's surgery on Jun. 3, 2009.

You couldn't ask for a better surgeon. We both like him a lot.

I have had great results. I am currently down 81 lbs.

My wife is down 25 lbs. It really works....as long as you listen.

Yeah I agree about the questions... the doctors are so busy that they are very short BUT if you have questions don't be afraid to ask and their office staff is wonderful and very knowledgable!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
