Dr Consult On 4/25/12 With Dr Trace Curry In Ohio

Devans · April 19, 2012

Lisa, glad everything went smooth, thanks for letting me know, now I know what to expect. I have about a two hour drive there and back. Im a self pay patient, my insurance doesn't cover anything so I'm hoping to have surgery sooner. My brother had his lap band done 2 yrs ago this July and he has lost 109 lbs. I have been thinking about doing this for along time, and then he done it so I thought I would wait and see how he did. I want to tell you a little about myself, I'm 48 diabetic have been for about 20+ years, so that is my main reason I what to do this. I'm sick of having to take two insulin shots a day. I have tried every diet out there and have lost weight only to gain it back plus more. Right now I weigh the most I have ever weighed and I would just like to feel healthy again. I'm super excited for both of us, keep in touch.

Debbie,

I am glad I could have been some help. I have searched high and low just to see how today would have gone. It was great. If you are self pay then im sure after you get throught the steps to surgery form, then you will be ready. You would be a fast track patient. I was told last year I too was borderline diabetic and my main reason is my heart. I have had 2 open heart surgeries and need to get this wait off so I can live life. I am 22 years old and in nursing school. I am also at my heaviest weight. This year will be our year to turn our lives around for the good. It will actually be better than good. I look forward to hearing from you and your experiences.

Take care and keep in touch

Lisa
