If you would like to submit a testimonial, please use this form. Marty Truax I would like to thank Dr.Curry and everyone that worked with him. The experience that I had before the surgery and the day of surgery was great. The people at JourneyLite were great. Everyone from the secretary, the nurse in pre-op, the gentleman that wheeled me to my car. Thanks to everyone that help in the operating room, a big shout out to all the ladies in the office that I am sure got really tired of me calling and asking questions. Thanks Dr.Curry for answering all the emails that I sent you. I have more energy already and just had surgery 2 weeks ago. The hardest thing I did was the diet before the surgery, but I lost 20 pounds so it was worth it. Thanks to everyone and God Bless. sheri sizemore I had been thinking about the lap-band for quite some time. Finally I picked up the phone and just made that first call. It is the best thing that I ever did. I had surgery at Dr. Curry's new JourneyLite facility and the surgery was very simple and everyone is so nice. I was contacted the next day to make sure I was doing well. I am already down 19 pounds. Dr. Curry and his staff are the best. I just keep thinking about how I will feel a year from now. Sheri Sizemore Ann F Here are some facts and figures about my journey... Approximately 6 months ago I was banded. To date (my records which may differ from the office records) I am down 114 pounds from since the start of the Pre Op Medifast plan and 67 inches (using bust, waist, hip, thighs and arms as markers) My experiences have been VERY positive and I would recommend the band to ANYONE considering WLS. I found the recovery from surgery pretty easy -only recall one icky day -about 3 days post op. No magic bullets or great wisdom other than FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES DR CURRY SETS. I keep my carbs under 60 grams, my proteins at about 80 grams (sometimes more),plenty of non calorie fluids and my fats at 25 grams per day . I do keep a food journal. All this on ONE FILL (Jan 08). Have I slimed, and PB'd-yes..ALL my fault. Do I follow good bandster behavior -most certainly. My lifestyle is such (me and 2 cats) where I can open a can of tuna for dinner and its OK. I am a bit dull at parties and restaurants, but it is not to hard to pre plan and almost any place can grill you a piece of salmon. My reasons for WLS were to lose weight to facilitate a long overdue hip replacement which I will get at the end of August.As each month has gone by, my energy goes up , my weight goes down and my clothes get baggy.and baggier . I did not begin exercise till mid March. I started with lap swimming- a 40 year favorite of mine. My first experiences in the pool were as follows-the water felt great, but I had lost so much strength and fitness, but I kept at it. Though I was resistant(drive distance/cost) to join Fast Track Metabolic Center, my instincts (and Erin H's gentle urgings) told me to try it. I was surprised at how much I liked it-I joined mid-May. The exercise did not hurt and the people are awesome. Though I have nothing (too much ) against the large glitzy gym where I swim, at Fast Track you get a lot of personalized care and support. I have had some wonderful conversations with other members. At Fast Track I feel at home and well cared for.-they will even change the music for me ! I noticed a few things recently involving my Fast Track experience . It was not difficult for me to add minutes to the Nu Step machine-started at at 10 minutes, now up to 40 . Its been a great stress reliever for me and had a cross training affect on my swimming. When I did my laps on Thursday(long layoff due to my schedule for swim days) , I noticed I was much stronger in the water, and my joints felt much better .I also noticed that the pounds lost/inches loss ratio just about doubled when I joined Fast Track (early statistics, but a statistic nonetheless) For me , this has been a win /win situation. A year ago I felt if I did not become pro-active towards my health challenges, I would not be long for this world .Today I feel strong and confident and I have reclaimed my life. Thank you so much Dr Curry and Staff for all you do fondly, Ann F crystal beach i chose dr.curry as my surgeon from what people say about him on here. its all good. i loved him and his staff. they are all very friendly people. i will be getting the gastric sleeve on may 19 th i cant wait.... crystal Hope Foster I haven't had the opportunity to meet Dr. Curry yet, but I will tomorrow and I am soooo excited. I have however had many conversations with his staff, Heidi and Tracy to name a few and they have been extremely helpful to me. Sharing their own experiences have really been a blessing and I am looking forward to the outcome. As of today, I have less than a month until I'm banded and I can't wait. Sara Francis I just wanted to let you all know that I had my lap-band surgery 2/9/07. I have lost close to 50 lbs. already and I have NO regrets. The entire staff is great, and I would do it all over again if I had to. Sara Carol Richmond Dr. Curry performed my bariatric surgery in April, 2006, and I have NEVER been happier with the procedure and the outcome, and I've lost 90 lbs. If fact, I did so well that Dr. Curry performed bariatric surgery on my husband this past February and he's lost 100 lbs. Dr. Curry and his staff are truly professional in the operating room and in the office. I would refer this group to anyone that's the least bit hesitant about who to have perform their surgery. This is an excellent group of people!! Michael Smith
DR.C is the best you can always email him and get A answer fast.he also has the best staff ever.I would recommend him to anyone Karen Anderson I've was banded 3 1/2 years ago in Mexico. I've had nothing but trouble finding someone to do aftercare in the States. Finally I found Dr. C. I drive 12 hours to get to him and his team, but its worth it. I'm a new BIG, but getting thinner fan of Dr. C. Karen Cox Dr. C. and his staff (both of them) are very professional and caring. I had LAP RNY with very minimal pain and no complications. The nutritional training pre-op is priceless and not available obviously from pthers' experiences with all bariatric surgeons. Although I haven't had a lot of questions, the few times I have contacted Dr. C. or his office, I'm have my question answer nearly immediately. |
