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.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
