Dr Scot Currie The Weight Loss Clinic Harrisburg PA -my story

I CANNOT come up with enough POSITIVE words to describe this man(Doc),his care,his bedside manner and the team that works with him! My story with Doc Currie started Nov 17 2008. He had done my gastric bypass wich was a big success(lost 150 lbs)! I am 37 years old and my hubby and I are childless due to my PAST infertility.. I was diagnosed with unexplained infertility back in the early 90's , went thru all the treatments but failed,only thing left to do was deal.  I had the weightloss surgery for health reason and NEVER considered the fact that losing so much weight would "jumpstart" my reproductive system.. By July We were pregnant,with a little girl. :) Words cannot describe the joy that man has brought to our lives. My story does not stop there. On November 13th 2009 my Husband took me to our local ER , I had severe pain in my upper abdomen, I knew it wasn't the baby. The ER doc suspected a blocked bowel, and since I was pregnant and with my bariatric history he called Dr Currie at 3am and He without hesitation told them to transfer me by ambulance to Pinnacle where a bed was ready for me,wich is 1hr and 30 minutes away. Told them it was ok to give me shots of Morphine for the pain. To make a long story short, I had a large Hernia in my bowel,also was blocked.. I was totally dehydrated from vomiting.The pain was almost intolerable. He made sure I was seen by an obgyn everyday ,with ultrasound,and the surgical team monitored fetal heartbeat around the clock. There painmanagement and RN care were out of this world. The surgical team he has I cannot speak more highly of.. He (they ) saved OUR lives,mine and the babies!Spent a week in the hospital..Im still recovering but feel great! IF you live in this area or not Dr Currie , I promise you is the right caring Doctor.. Thanks again Doctor Currie.. Happy Holidays!

So glad to hear that you and the baby are doing well. Congratulations, and continued good health. I also went to the Weight Loss Clinic in Harrisburg, and I agree wholeheartedly. The doctors and staff are wonderful. The hospital staff are fantastic. I can't say enough good things about them. Dr. Matthew Davidson did my surgery and I had some problems the first few months and everyone always treated me with so much concern and top notch care.

I have to second your remarks. Dr Currie also preformed my surgery almost 2 weeks ago. I too cannot find enough words describe The Weight Loss Clinic expereince.

Glad to hear you are doing well its great to read something positive about our surgeons and for you to share that.  Take care. When is the baby due.  I thought I read BABIES?

Glad everything turned out so well for you. I too, had Dr. Currie and used the Weight Loss Clinic and was so pleased. My journey since January of 2009 has been a great one and each time I went for a check up, everyone was so nice and kind. It also helps to know that if there is a problem after surgery, these doctors will follow up with you. Congrats on your good success and continued good health.
