I'm in Western Kentucky but A Dr. Curries with Deaconess Hospital contacted here with a private message while I was looking for one and he's in Cincinnati, it's a long drive for me but he was so nice and said they don't usually charge if they have to use the fluro but he usually doesn't need it and he had done thousands of fills even though I'm having mine done in Mexico.

I really appreciated that from him. I have his number if your interested. He said he would do mine at four weeks and would be very aggresive with the first one and then slowly find my sweet spot. It I can help let me know.

I was recently approved for Doctor Fegelman at Jewish Weight Management Center in Cincinnati Ohio. I dont have a date yet though.

Its over near Kenwood Mall they accept a large variety of insurances, and the center has an impressive after care program

Dr. Curry I blieve is how you spell it contacted me through this web site. He is at deaconess hospital there somewhere in Cincinatti so when I get back from Mexico he is going to do the fill at 4 weeks. He has done many fills and says usually doesn't even need fluro but has it there and they don't charge for use of fluro so far he said.

Good luck,

Sherri'

My surgery is for July 10, in Monterrey Mexico.

I actually just called them this morning. Dr. Trace Curry 877-442-BAND is in Cinn. they charge $300 for the first fill because it includes an orientation,new patient visit, etc. but all other fills are only $150

I had my surgery with Dr. Curry and he is great! He is very nice, down to earth and understanding. He answers every email I send very promptly. I emailed him on December 26th at 8pm at night and received a response at 10pm.

I have had many fills and unfills trying to reach my "sweet spot". Whenever I've needed an unfill he has accomodated me that day. He has had some "staff issues" because of some disagreement he had with Deaconess, so that's been a little trying. But, I love him and totally recommend him to everyone. My sister in law is going to have her surgery thru him. The person who recommended him to me has had a lot of problems with a hiatle hernia and had to have her surgery redone. She still raves about him, that he was so understanding and easy to work with.

Just FYI, he plays in a bluegrass band, that should tell you he's not stuck up. He invites his patients to his concerts.

I don't know anything about the other surgeons here in Cincinnati. But Dr. Curry is great!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
