If you would like to submit a testimonial, please use this form. Lindsey Dulaney I have wonderful things to say about Dr. Curry and his staff! I had surgery on 7/22/08 and had a great experience. I initially emailed Dr. Curry with an inquiry about surgery on 7/24/06 so over the course of almost 2 years, I would periodically email him with questions. I always received a quick response to my question which was rather impressive. When I came in for the seminar, I knew I would go with Dr. Curry for surgery. I liked the staff and felt comfortable with Dr. Curry and Erin on my first appointment. On the day of surgery, his staff, particulary the nurse prepping me and the nurse antitheist, were exceptional at calming my nerves and making me comfortable. Once home after surgery, Lisa has always been avaialble for questions. My husband even commented that he wished the staff at our family doctor's office could learn from Dr. Curry's staff! I have continued to feel like Dr. Curry and his staff care about their patients. Thank you all for helping me change my life! Gilliam Amy Although Obesity is a nationwide epidemic individuals who are obese often feel helpless and alone. Alone and helpless descibed me to a tee, until August 6th, 2008. I believe everything in my life happens for a reason, sometimes I do not understand the time frame , but the purpose is there. Marcy Huff from Dr. Currys office was a reason in my life. I reached out to Journeylite and she reached back to lift me up. After a wonderful phone conversation sharing stories and crying and laughing, I knew I was about to change my life. I met the staff of Journeylite on August 6th. Each conversation made me feel happier and more sure I was making the right decision to help myself. I have made the first step in getting my life back , one I deserve and one my family and friends deserve. I feel emotionallly lighter today and September 15th I will become part of the "losers bench". I am committed and confident, and the group at Journeylite will be my cheerleaders. I can not thank you enough Dr. Curry for changing my life, I will be forever grateful!!! Amy Gilliam Angi Lacey I want to thank Dr. Curry and his staff for all the work they did to get me ready for my surgery and the speedy process. Everyone was so helpful from day one especially Dr. Curry and Lisa Sprong. She is such a wonderful person and a great inspiration. I am 16 pounds down now but have a long way to go! Thank you again Journeylite staff! Denise Schade I highly recommend Dr. Curry, his staff and the staff at JourneyLite. From the first time I walked through the door for the seminar and Psych evaluation I felt totally at ease and confident in my choice to have Dr. curry do my Lap Band surgery.Everyone is friendly, helpful and extremely good at their job. I love having my band and am losing weight. I could not have made a better choice. Life is good! Darlene Townsley I have fought my weight problem for more than 10 years and took off pounds many times but would always gain them back. Then 2 years ago my nephew had the lapband surgery and has done very well and thought it would be good for me. At first I thought, No way, would I go that route but the more I researched the procedure the more I thought why not, dieting hasn't worked. So I went to several different Bariatric Doctors and attended their seminars and just couldn't decide who to go with. Then a friend told me about Dr. Curry at Journeylite. I called and registered for his seminar and I knew that night that I wanted to have Dr. Curry and his team do my surgery. The pre-surgery process was fairly simple. The girls in the office were all very helpful in arranging everything for me and each appointment was easy to set up and everyone I have met at Journeylite has been so kind and helpful. Prior to surgery I weighed 215. I went on a 2 week medi fast and liquid fast (per doctor's orders) and dropped 15 1bs. Weighed 200 the morning of surgery. Since my surgery 1 week ago I have lost another 3 1bs. and my blood pressure is down to 117 over 74. I am looking forward to seeing what my cholesterol reading is when I see my PCP. I think I have done very well. Not been sick at my stomach at all this last week and only taken meds for 2 days after surgery. I look forward to getting on the scales each morning now that the number is decreasing and not gaining. I am so thankful to Dr. Curry and his whole Journeylite team that made this all possible for me. I know, now that I have the Realize band in place that I can contiune to drop the weight and feel better about the future with my husband, kids and my 18 month old granddaughter. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. I know a lot of women aren't comfortable with other folks knowing they have had Bariatric surgery to lose weight but I am not one of them. I tell everyone about my experience because I know how hearing about this procedure has changed my life and if I can influence others, by sharing my story with them then just maybe they will take the step as I did and have the surgery for themselves. Thanks again to everyone at Journeylite.... Darlene Townsley Kelly Weidner I have NEVER been through such a quick, easy, and painless (other than surgery) doctor visit!!! The entire staff, along with Dr. Curry are unbelievably nice and knowledgeable. They are honestly there for you at anytime, ready to answer any question. The support from both Dr. Curry's staff and the staff at JourneyLite is unsurpassed!! I am so glad that I made the decison for Dr. Curry to be my surgeon in this life altering endevour. From the time of my first seminar to my surgery was only 6 weeks!! After 2 weeks of the pre-op diet and only one week after surgery, I'm already down 25 pounds and feel like a new person!!

I was like a lot of people, over weight, unhappy, out of shape, stayed away from public places. Shopped at night. Lied about food and was hiding my food. It took my younger brother to make fun of me, and the shape of my butt. I was made to see my weight had reached 280 pounds! I am 5'2 after going to the cardiologist for heart problems. Taking 10 medications and insulin being the biggest. I started to work out. But, that was not always good. Didn't want to be by myself. I had a few friends who talked about the "Band" and "Gastric by-pass." We made the appointment and went together. After watching the slides, and listened to Dr.Curry talk, I could tell he cared about the patients, and I was not just a fat pesron. Dr.Curry, cared for me, and he wanted the best for me! He is the greatest Doctor that anyone could, and would ever want. He listens to my fears and concerns. He always listens to what I have to say. Dr. Curry has NEVER maked me feel like " Hurry up, I'm too busy for you." The staff always makes me feel welcomed, and still does to this day. Dr.Curry help save my life, I have taken control of my life and changed it. Since losing 165 pounds and over 130 inches, my life is on the run with entering several marathons, 5k , 10k runs. I will be in a triathlon in June 2009! Thanks to Dr.Curry and the tool of Gastric by-pass. "I am a bananna, when you shed the layers, one waits to see the beautiful fruit that awaits." Donna Crawford Heidi Burns I was "so" ready to loose weight and get healthy, but with a BMI of 34.2 which is considered obese, I had to search for a doctor that would perform the lapband on a patient with a BMI of 34 which is difficult because most doctors will only do surgery on BMI of 35 and over. Well, while surfing the web, I came across Dr. Curry. I was first disappointed that he was 3 and 1/2 hours away but I made my appointment anyway and drove the 3 and 1/2 hours. I was so happy after I left the office. At that moment I knew the drive was worth it and I would soon be on my way to a better life.!! He was so awesome and the girls in the office put me at ease and answered every question I had and then some. I really felt a positive connection with a few of the staff members as they also had lapband. JourneyLite surgery center was top notch. They were very caring and made every patient feel so special that day. I was in surgery for such a short time. I couldn't believe that it was over. It was so smooth. It was the best decision I have ever made. Its been a little over a week since surgery and I'm doing great!!! Im so blessed to have Dr. Curry and his staff during this life changing journey. Thanks, Heidi Gena Niederkorn I received my Band at Dr. Curry's Evendale office. The entire process was seamless and having surgery at JourneyLite was a breeze. The staff is knowledgeable, informative and friendly. The info session was thorough and satisfied all of my questions. Dr. Curry surprised me with his approachability. During the Q&A portion of the info session, Dr. Curry stayed to answer every question. I had a great experience with Dr. Curry and I am excited about my new journey with the Band. Karen Ryan After being morbidly obese for the last 20 years of my life, I knew that the only solution for me to regain my health and quality of life was to consider bariatric surgery. Dr. Curry's web site was instrumental in giving me the information I needed to pursue that option. My daughter has her bachelor's degree in nursing and works on the medical/surgical floor of a major hospital. After she reviewed Dr. Curry's excellent reputation, she also encouraged me to make an appointment to see what options were available to me. Additionally, Dr. Curry's fees were very reasonable. This also added to the possibility that even though my insurance coverage did not include bariatric surgery, I would be able to afford it. I was so very excited. After meeting with Dr. Curry and his staff, and attending the informational session with my husband, I decided to have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. My surgery was scheduled within the month. I have never regretted my decision. After arriving home from the hospital, I did not require any pain medication. The procedure could not have gone better. Today I am 72 lbs. less!!! I am even more convinced that the next 50 lbs. will soon be gone! In a period of four months, my quality of life has dramatically improved. I do not have a current picture to post, but will do so soon. Thank you so much, Dr. Curry! |
