Tara B 0 Posted July 13, 2011 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!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley27 2 Posted July 14, 2011 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!

5McK 10 Posted July 15, 2011 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

red dress girl 0 Posted July 31, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gaylebco 11 Posted July 31, 2011 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
