I started back in January with my 6 month dieting which was required by my insurance. I just went through my preop testing. I have surgery on Wednesday. I'm getting nervous.

I am 9 months post op and had my surgery at The Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati. I live outside of Cincinnati. Anyone else close to me?

My insurance doesn't cover any form of WLS, and as a self pay patient, my only option was Mexico! After TONS of research I decided on Dr Ramos- Kelly and I am scheduled for July 25th. I was originally scheduled for July 12th, but had to reschedule I am so very excited and cannot wait to start my life on the losers bench!!!

Hello everyone!

My name is Ashley and me and my husband had our sleeves by Dr. Trace Curry at Journy Lite in Cincinnati. We had our surgery June 30th. We both did very well and went home the next day. We are doing pretty good with eating. We are on purees right now and not able to eat a whole lot at once but we eat 6 times a day. I have lost 22 pounds so far, and my husband has lost 30 pounds. We are still adjusting to everything and dealing with "head hunger". Im really hoping that goes away soon. All I think about is ice cream. But it is still the best thing I have ever done for myself and am so happy I did it!! We are open to any questions and would love any advice! Thanks! Love this site!

Hi Ashley, Congrats on your and your hubby's sleeves!! I'm going in today for final nut class with Dr Curry also...what did you think of Journey lite?

22 pounds is great!! (so is 30 on hubby!)

Continued good luck!

I'm in the Columbus area, but I'm not thrilled with my options locally. I've been researching Dr. Curry and JourneyLite. So happy others on here have used him successfully!

[Gaylebco 11]

5Mck, they are winderful at Dr Curry's office and your follow up can be done here in columbus area (they have an office in grove city now). Good luck!

I am also a patient of Dr. Curry. I am having a band to sleeve revision on 8/9/11. Excited, but scared.. Afraid of failure and afraid of leaks...The band has not worked at all for me...was banded in 2007.

[Gaylebco 11]

Welcome Red Dress Girl!

I know you can do this...the revision will be the change you have been waiting for. It will make your life different! Good luck!

Hi all! I am seeing Dr. Northup with Mercy Weight Solutions in Cincinnati, OH. Very nice bedside manner and his staff is incredible! My surgery is scheduled for September 30th, 2011! I have tons of emotions going through me but very excited to start this journey!

Jenni,

I was sleeved by Dr. Northup 3 weeks ago. You're right, he and his staff are the best! I hope to meet you at a support group meeting soon.
