Has anyone out there been sleeved or going to be sleeved by Dr Curry? I hear most people talking about Dr Alvarez in Mexico, but haven't heard anyone with the same surgeon as me.

Thank goodness! How are you doing so far? I was getting nervous not ever hearing of anyone who had Dr Curry.

I'm doing really good. I'm almost 6 months out. I have lost 50 lbs. I was in his office on Wednesday for my 6 mth appt. he popped his head in to say hi. Normally I just see the PA and NUT. Have you gotten a date yet?

Do a search on dr curry and you will find other patients on this site.

Did you use Dr Curry?

Yes. I used dr curry. I'm still happy with my results. I'm about 8 months out. I started at 230 per op. I'm staying around 175. My goal is 170. I haven't gotten there yet. But I have been bad lately. I was on vacation in Cancun a week ago and did indulge in some things that I shouldn't have, I haven't even exercising neither. I'm 5'4".

After the insurance co approved me I was schedule really fast. But I decide to wait till after the holidays. Honey I can eat everything now. LOL. I had a problem with eggs for a while but now I'm good. I was sore for a couple of weeks. My problem was I had no energy. I wasnt getting my fluids in. I only took 2 weeks off work. My first week back to work was hard but I did okay. This site was a big help.

Yes this site is great! It makes me feel better talking to someone that had used Dr. curry. Did Dr. curry make you do the 2 week Protein diet only?

I only had to do one week pre op diet. I lost 10 in that week. The foods was medifast. It was just ok.

Your pictures look great! I saw the foods they sell there and wondered which way they made the diet. I think they said mine will be 2 weeks

Thanks.......I still go there to purchase some things. I think I lose when I have one of their products a day. It's hard for me to get in the 60 grams of Protein. I like the hot chocolate. The Fruit drinks. And the vanilla wafers.

Surgery is set for Oct 3! Did Dr Curry use staples on your stomach that you had to get removed?

That is wonderful... It will be here before you know it. Nope he didn't use staples. He use the dissolvable stitches.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
