I know this thread hasn't been updated in a couple of years, but if anyone reads this- I am newly banded and out of Cincinnati. Dr. Trace Curry is my physician. I am looking for Cincinnati friends!!!!!

Hello, I'm not in Cinni but the Columbus area, I just stumbled acrossed Dr. Curry's website, as I have a BMI less than 35 but I have serveral co-morbity conditions. I noticed he is the only Dr I can find around here that takes some patients with BMI's between 30 - 35. Now I don't know if my insurance will go for it, but I would be willing to pay out of pocket, I noticed on another post you metioned you were self pay, and insight as to how much it costs, payments plans anything would be appreciated.

How are things going for you since your surgery? Looking forwarding to hearing from you!

I'm not self pay... Perhaps you got me confused with someone else? things are good though. Surgery was June 4th. No complaints, other than the fact I'm anxiously awaiting my first fill! Lol

Hi Ren, I went to Curry and paid $13,000 for the surgery, just had the surgery July 9 if you have any questions. You have to pay for your pre-op diet too, which they supply (Medifast). I had to do it for 2 weeks and paid $188.00 for this. And then there's the psych eval which cost $200.00, which was cheaper than sending it through my insurance, you may have a better option. The $13,000 is for surgery at Journeylite which is the same building as Dr. Curry. If you get it at Jewish I believe it was about $1,000 more, but don't quote me on that.
