I started out at 236 lbs. and now I'm weighing in at 163 lbs. I steadily gained this weight probably over a 10 year period - few pounds every year. Dr. C and staff took time with me and helped mold me into my current size 10. I was a model in my 20's and I've since realized that I am smaller now, than I was then. I thank Dr. C and staff every time I visit the office. They laugh and say they are just doing their job. But, I remind them of a few of our previous conversations whereby I stated, "before my surgery, I hated looking in the mirror at the person I had become." And now, (thanks to them and self determination) I can cross my legs w/o them falling asleep and, I can bend over and tie my shoe w/o discomfort to my stomach or suffering the headache that some times came along with completing such a simple task. I remind them that although these things may be minor to some...they are major milestones for me. I love the new me, buying new clothes and having co-workers & family members wondering what is HER secret. No more depression, no more "that won't fit", no more hiding out, no more non-socialization...I am free. Thanks to Dr. C and his staff. Darlene Sexton After, I finally made my mind up to have weight loss surgery, my next big step was to find the perfect Doctor.So, for the next few months, I stayed busy searching for that perfect Doctor, whom I could trust to do my surgery, and guess what...I found him..I had to travel out of state, but I would not change a thing. Dr. Curry and his staff are wonderful, I would recommend to anyone out there looking for a highly trustworthy Doctor, and to top it off, if you are a self pay customer as I was, the price is great..

I am six months out from my surgery. I had the gastric banding. I am so glad I did it. I am 3 pounds from breaking the 200 mark and am becoming re-motivated. I would love to lose 20 more by the time my husband returns from over-seas. Good luck to all of the others who have motivation to accomplish their life goals. Bob Rumberger
Well it has been 2 years since my lap band surgery. AS of this morning I have lost 102 lbs. I will never look back. It has changed my life, my mental well-being and outlook on life forever. I still enjoy food as much as I did before, just not so much of it. I was a stranger to the gym until last April (1 year post-op. I now enjoy going 3-4 times a week. I paid for 75 sessions with personal training. I lost my last 35 lbs from do that. Go for it - you will never look back. L.A. Hobbs Wow...where do I begin. I started my search of the lapband in May 08 and then subscribed to a forum lapbandtalk.com. I found that many people from the tri-state area used Dr. Curry, better known as (Dr.C) and I was impressed to know that people actually traveled to have surgery by him. Because I lived in Indianapolis and never saw many people rant and rave about local Dr.'s I decided to schedule to attend one of Dr. C's free seminars. That's all it took. I was hooked. After the seminar, I scheduled to consult with Dr. C personally along with my husband that same day. His soft caring ways is what captured me aside from the fact that he is so thorough. I didn't seem to be just another number, but a person that he cared about helping reach the ultimate goal of weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. I told him I was wanting the surgery as soon as he could perform it. He looked at his calendar and came up with the September 2, 2008 date at which time he penciled in. I scheduled my seminar with the nutritionist and had my psyc evaluation the following week and I was good to go. I started my pre-op duet 2 weeks prior to the surgery and on the morning of September 2nd traveled to Cincinatti to have the surgery. I was amazed at the level of professionalism, care and concern everyone of Dr. C's staff exhibited. I change into that stylish surgery garb, hopped on the bed, talked with the anesthesiologist while he put stuff in my veins, kissed my husband and off to surgery I went. Much to my amazement, the surgery only lasted 15 minutes. What an efficient Dr? I had a little nausea and some dry heaves but that was it. My post op care has been as great as pre op. On top of it, who has ever heard of their Dr. having a VIP Red Carpet Event for his patients? Dr. C is hosting this event for his patients, which proves the care,concern and hopes for success he has for all of his patients. I am 7 months post op and have lost 54 lbs and continue to lose. I feel great and look forward to being at goal by the end of this year 2009. I say all this to say, won't you choose Dr. C as your Dr.? You wont be sorry, you won't have regrets but it he will give you hope for a better future. Thanks Dr. C. amy flannery Dr.Curry amd his team are GREAT! They have made me feel very calm and confident during Pre-Op time. I am so glad I chose Dr.C to do my surgery, I have no regrets. I go for my 1st fill in 2wks. I am excited about my new healthy life. Thanks to everyone! Pam Adams Date of Operation: November 30, 1999
Dr Curry did my surgery. He saved my life! We also have custody of three kids now, so it saved them from foster care. He and the entire staff were great. I was on a downward spiral of depression and didn't want to get out of bed any more. Thanks to Dr Curry, I am taking care of these kids, doing Relay for life walks, and doing a lot of things I wouldnt have been doing otherwise. Thanks again. Pam Adams. 232/114 brenda barrett After attending meetings at four locations, I decided that Journey Lite was the best fit for me. Having Lap Band surgery at Journey Lite was the best decision that I ever made. Dr. Curry and his staff are accommodating, encouraging, and kind, and I have already started to see steady improvement in my health and in my stamina. In the first eight weeks, I have lost 22 pounds and 21 1/2 inches, and I am excited to see the changes the new year will bring! Thanks Dr. Curry and thanks to each of the staff members in all three offices. Support is essential to the success of this program, and you have all been wonderfully supportive! Sincerely, Brenda Barrett PS Come over to Fast Track and meet us! You won't believe the success stories you will hear or the support you will get in YOUR weight loss journey! anthony peluso This operation was a life saver for me. I was pre-diabetic, three pills a day for high blood pressure, as well as the worst eating habits. I had to make a choice, continue at this pace and be ready to die sooner rather than later. I choose to get my life back to what I knew it could be. Four months since my meds are cut in half, my waist size has gone from 48 to 40, I have learned how to eat a NORMAL diet. the very best part about all of this, i almost never miss the old habits. I will say, once in a while the old way of doing things flares up, it's natural, and it goes away as quickly as it comes. I have so much energy, way more then i can remember, i've started working out at a gym, small weights and lots of cardio.The staff that you will be dealing with at this clinic is top of the line. The entire staff are Cincinnati Bengal fan and i'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, they still welcomed in with open arms. I drive two and a half hours each way for my appointments which is so worth the trip simply because they are all so special, and have given me a new way to live a healthy life. Rob Cornelius I am 33 yrs. old and I weighed 338lbs. My weight started to have a serious effect on my health and mobility. I have, as many of you, have struggled with my weight my whole life. I was an athlete and, while I was a bit overweight, I was in good shape. When I graduated from high school and the sports ended my weight started to slowly (and steadly) go up. It didn't seem like there was anything I could do about it. I was on all the fad diets- liquid diets, atkins, weight watchers- and lost as much as 50 lbs. Then I would just gain it all back and more. I had to do something more; something permanent. After about a year of thinking about and researching my options, I bit the bullet and scheduled my appointment. I have a 2 year old daughter- she was the deciding factor for me. She pushed me off of the fence I had been sitting on. Dr. Curry and his team are great. I have never had a Doctor who is so accessible. You send the man an email from his website, and he gets back to you within the hour. I bet his wife hates his blackberry, but it was good for me. I did have questions. The recovery was short, and I have not had any problems with food. I can eat whatever I want...just much less...and I'm not hungry. I have lost 50 lbs so far. If you have been thinking about the band, I say go for it! It has realy put the spring back in my step, and I feel so much better, so much more confident. Actually my wife and I are expecting another baby, so it helps in many ways. |
