I'm scheduled to attend the WLS seminar on May 23rd and I'm interested in hearing from patients of his. I'm a little nervous about beginning this journey . . but my health is progressively deteriorating & I've seen first hand what obesity has done to to my mother (diabetes, renal disease, rhetinopathy, coma, brain damage, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis etc), and she is only 62 !!!!!! I've tried Medifast (which didn't taste tooo bad), except I was extremely hungry after about a month and it wrecked havoc on my thyroid (hair loss, extreme fatigue). Weigh****chers (hungry), LA Weight Loss (hungry), Atkins (hungry) etc. I'm scared I won't be here to see my son graduate from college & he's only 13. I @ the breaking point . . .my body is in PAIN . . and it's mounting !!!!!

Yvette, I had my surgery done by Dr Curry. 1/27/06. Since then I have lost 40 pounds, taken off my BP meds, dont need my c-pap any longer. I can walk 2 miles now with out gettin out of breath and my legs dont hurt. I quit smoking 2 years in September and of course gained weight that I couldnt afford to gain. I really felt helpless. Smoke lose some weight quit gain some. I too have a 13 year old Son,and it does make you think. I got a grip on my life when I found Dr.Curry. I would do it all over again in a heart beat!!!!! The best thing I've done formy self,since I quit smoking. Good luck to you! PC 224/184/145

Thank you for sharing your experience . . it's really encouraging to know others can relate & are already succeeding. I've read many wonderful posts about Dr. Curry . . unfortunately, I've heard from other employees @ my job, that he's not covered by our insurance. I'm really glad to hear that you've been able to quit smoking and it sounds like you're well on your way to being healthy & fabulously fit !!! Good Luck to you as well . . .

A friend of mine had her RNY with Dr. K a little over 3 years ago and she has done wonderfully. She recently gave birth a baby girl who is simply adorable. Have you checked to see if your insurance covers Dr.C? I'm sure if you call his office, they can tell you if he is covered under your insurance. Good luck!
