Hello all!

I've lurked here a few weeks while contemplating my options. I'm now schedule for banding with Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta on Oct. 27th. I'm slightly nervous but more excited. I look forward to sharing the journey with you fine folks.:clap2:

You have come to the write place. I've only been hare for a few days and everyone has been so forthcoming and inspirational. Although I am not currently banded they have really increased my appeal to how life altering it can be. Good luck on your journey and hope this is the start of something amazing.

Welcome,

I don't know if you know it or not but you have a fabulous fill doctor right there in Cinci, Dr. Trace Curry. He is mine and I had my surgery in Mexico. He is wonderful. He had done thousands of fills. I go back for a fill this week. Here is his website in case you need a fill doctor and how lucky right there, I drive almost 5 hours each way to see him.

Hey pjk,

I go to Dr. Curry today. Isn't he a pure sweetheart. I'm leaving tomorrow night to drive up as he is almost 5 hours each way and spend the night and get my 3rd fill on Tuesday and then spend the night again to see if I am too tight or not and I'll leave on Wednesday. I wished everyone could use him.

Thanks for all the great support. Yes, I've heard tremendous things about Dr. Curry. I'm lucky, he's about 10 minutes from me. I haven't contacted his office yet but will soon to let them know that I'll soon be a "Mexican Bandster" looking for a fill doctor. How much does he charge per fill? Does he do the fills there at Deaconess?:wacko:

I'm curious about why you didn't go with Dr. Curry for ur surgery...he's done close to 400 and has an excellent reputation...did you hear something otherwise...he's doing my band on 11/10.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
