OK, my first post! I am from Lima, Ohio. I am being banded July 8th in Cincinnati by Dr. Curry. I go June 24th for the nutrition class and then begin the pre-op diet. I am so excited!! I have been researching this for about 2 years now. I am self-pay because my insurance says that I have to join and successfully complete 1 year at 2 different weight loss places....like Weight Watchers and another place. I don't have 2 years to wait!! I qualify in every other way. :P

So, I am waiting patiently.....trying to anyway!! :lol:

I have only heard positive things about Dr. Curry but I would love to talk with anyone that's been banded by him! Thanks!

Welcome!

I am in Findlay! I did not get banded by Dr Curry, but hear great things about him!

Would love to chat sometime. Hard to meet others nearby!

Hi - I am from Cincinnati and was banded by Dr. Curry two weeks ago. I am doing great - waiting for my first fill. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff. I've lost almost 15 - 18 since starting the pre-op diet. That, my friend, is the hardest part... eating the liquid diet for two weeks! Good luck to you! I'd be glad to answer any questions!

      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.
