I had a lap band put on at the beginning of August. I have lost about 2 pounds a week since the band was put on. I was very impressed with the staff and with Dr. Curry. They were always very attentive and I felt like I was their only patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Curry.

For 2 years I researched the Lap-Band procedure, and surgeons, until I knew I had found the right doctor. I went to one other seminar before Dr. Curry's, and thought it was too assembly line for me. When I attended Dr. Curry's seminar, I was sold! The Staff is great, the Journeylite Facility is excellant as well as all the staff that work with up before and after your surgery. I am down 21 lbs since my 1st visit to the office, and I feel great. I actually put on a pair of jeans today that I have not been able to wear in 2 years! I have struggled for 13 years with my weight, and this has just been a blessing! The tool I needed to help me lose the excess weight that no other diet programs have been able to help me with in the past! I highly recommend Dr. Curry and Journeylite for anyone considering

I had been debating about investigating lap-band surgery for over a year. I discovered Dr. Curry’s website and found it one of the most helpful sites to learn about surgery and all of the other questions that go along with such a step. Dr. Curry’s prompt replies to my questions impressed me as well. I attended an information seminar that gave me more confidence to make the move. Everyone on Dr. Curry’s staff was extremely helpful and supportive as I took the leap for surgery. I find it hard to believe that I actually had surgery. Everything went so smoothly and quickly. If anyone doubts making such a decision, you will find the most supportive and kind people with Dr. Curry and his staff to guide you at every level. I feel like I have discovered new family members as the staff encourage me with smiles, suggestions, and as they share their own experiences. From the surgery team at Journey Lite, to the people at the front desk, I experienced that these people really do care how I progress.

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!

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

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!

I love having my band and am losing weight. I could not have made a better choice. Life is good!

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

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
