Info from anyone banded w/Cincinnati Weightloss



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled to be banded last week of April and was wondering if anyone else has any feedback on Cincinnati Weightloss. Dr and staff seem very nice and personable but I would like to hear from anyone who has used them regarding their personal experience. I was impressed with the fact that most people who work in that office have been banded by the doctor there.

Hi Holly,

I was banded at Cincy Weight Loss on 2/13/09. They are FANTASTIC!!! I've been so pleased with my journey so far. They also have a monthly support group and book club that I would recommend joining. Not to mention the way cool yahoo support group they have online. If you have any questions please feel free to message me. Good luck!

I was banded in Cincinnati by Dr. Trace Curry, the band doctor @ Journeylite. Love Dr. C and his staff. I drove 2 hours to have surgery by Dr. C. Good luck with whomever you select.

I was banded on 04/10/09 and went to my post-op today at Cincy Weight Loss. I am very pleased with the center and the instructions and care you receive stress the importance of the procedure AND follow-up. Along with the importance of having support which they provide. I was a self-pay patient and to me, I wasn't going for the cheapest place to get it done, I was going for the best in care and follow-up. The people at University Pointe Surgical Center are very professional and I was given alot of attention by the physician, the anesthesiologist and the nurses who seemed to go out of their way to make sure my visit was comfortable. I received a follow-up call that evening from Dr. Watkins, and another the next day from the hospital to make sure I was doing well and to see if I had any questions. Best of luck on your procedure and please don't stress about going to Cincy Weight Loss, you did make a good choice.

Hi! I am planning on having Dr. Curry @ JourneyLite (Cincinnati, OH) do my lap band procedure in June. I am having to pay for the procedure out of my own pocket and felt that JourneyLite's price, pre-op, and post-op care was the best total package. I will be traveling about 2.5 hours for the surgery. I am soooo pleased that Dr. Curry is opening a satellite office in Columbus, OH for I will be able to get my fills done there instead of having to drive to Cincy once a month. I have been in contact w/ the JourneyLite staff, including Dr. Curry. I ask a question on their website and within 24 hours I have a reply. I am going to the free seminar on May 7th (Columbus) and have my surgeon consult/dietician mtg/psych eval in Cincy on May 27th. I asked if it would be possible for me to have my surgery during the week of June 8th b/c I have that week off between school and summer school. Dr. Curry and his staff are trying their best to accommodate my schedule. :laugh:

Wonderful! He is so quick. He completed my surgery in 15 minutes and it has been the best thing I could have done for myself. I'd do it all over again. Best wishes to you!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
