Hi. I work in Athens, live in Belpre. I go this weekend (3/15) for my info session with Dr. Kaplan in Parkersburg. They are doing the band now at Camden Clark in Parkersburg. I'm not sure what the price is there. I'll be using my insurance. I am debating on having it done local in Parkersburg or going to OSU. How did you choose your physician? Was it based on the price? Thanks. =)

hi it's Carol from Athens. I have been researching this for several years. Around 5 years ago i tried to get RNY bypass but my insurance co turned me down 2x because i had not been overweight by 100 lbs. for 5 years. I had insurance that covered WLS. Now I have insurance but it includes WLS. So price was very large consideration. I have gone to presentations for Cinn. Weight Loss Center and Holzer but they wanted like $16K and $18k respecctively. I saw ad for Dr. Trace Curry near Cincinnati. I told them I had researched and gone to 2 presentations so I could skip theirs. I had appt. 2/28 and am scheduled for surgery on April 8. I was very very impressed with Dr. Curry and his staff (almost all of his staff have had the surgery) and the one that I have talked to the most has not but I try not to hold that against her...she's actually awesome. Dr. Curry was very personable and answered all my questions. If I had insurance I may have gone to Dr. Curry anyway.

that's way more than you probably wanted to hear. And the $12.5 K price includes 2 years of fills.

Hey, I just ran across this thread - sorry, I'm a little slow. I was banded @ Holzer by Dr. Grandia. He is absolutely fabulous and his bed-side manner is top-notch. I would recommend him to anyone. I've only met Dr. Canady in passing, but I hear he's very good as well. Good luck with your surgery. :unsure:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
