Dr. Curry has done more LAP BANDS^® and REALIZE BANDS^® than any other bariatric surgeon in Ohio, and he is the only Lap Band faculty surgeon in the region who has been chosen by Allergan (the manufacturer of the Lap Band) as well as Ethicon Endo-Surgery (the manufacturer of the Realize Band) to be a proctor to teach other surgeons to do the procedure.  He is also a sleeve gastrectomy proctor for W.L. Gore.

Dr. Curry is also well-known for his accessibility, and he frequently has patients from all over the country contacting him for advice and guidance. He even spends time on the ObesityHelp.com message board helping patients. He makes himself freely available by email so if you have any questions just write to him.  Being a patient himself gives him a truly unique perspective about the journey you are taking.
