the beginning
I am starting the beginning of what I hope is a journey that ends years of struggle with my obesity. I am 52 years old and can only remember being close to a normal weight one time in my life. I accomplished that by going to a diet doctor and taking diet pills (amphetimines). I have been overweight my entire life.
I am going to attend the information session at the Barix Clinic in Groveport, Ohio on December 15 and the Deconess Weight Loss Surgery Center in Cincinnati on December 21.
I am hoping to find out if this is something that will work for me. I am interested in the lap band procedure.
Wish me luck!

Good luck! Everyone on this board is very friendly and helpful!
I started my journey last year at this time! I am also 52...and I had my surgery on 6/1. I am 19 pounds from my goal now and wear a size 8! When I read your post it reminded me of myself!
I had the RNY procedure at UH in Cleveland. I have absolutely NO regrets!
Good luck! Everyone on this board really has a lot of respect for Dr. C @ Deaconess!

I think you are so lucky to be starting this journey. I had Dr.Curry at Deaconess and was so happy. They are such caring people. I checked out four other doctors but felt he cared more about me then the money. He makes you feel like you are a real "person" . His whole staff is great. The hospital was so nice and you have a private room and comfortable. I hope you are happy wherever you go. Love,Cindy
Hi Sandra, Good luck with your journey. I too am 52 and had open RNY last February. The road has been smooth for me and I couldn't be happier or healthier! Everyone here is very supportive and will help in anyway that we can. I started at 274 and am now 164 with a goal of 130. Good luck again, please feel free to email me if you have any questions. I had Dr. Fallang at Riverview in Dayton.
