I was in the same boat as you in the beginning.  Only you can answer the questions that you've asked.  I know that I finally chose lap band because it was reversible, and I could always 'start over' should I start down the wrong path.

I live in Cleveland and drove to Cincinnati to be a patient of Dr. Curry's.  I had my surgery in June of 2008.  I am since down about 140 pounds.  I have ten more pounds to go until I get to the goal that he set for me, and twenty pounds to go until I get to my personal goal.

He has been the best and most supportive doctor I have ever had.  He and his staff have seen me through some roughh patches, and they are always accessible and there when I need them.

Best of luck in making the choice that's right for you!  If you have any questions on anything, feel free to let me know!

Topic: RE: Tightened stomach skin
I do have scarring but it takes time to go but I'm not bothered with it as I won't be wearing those itty bitty string bikini in this life!!! The only problem I had was some extra loose skin over the last few months so I have a TT revision 6 weeks ago and everything is perfect now and I feel great.

Topic: Upper GI and Endoscope Testing in the same day???
My approval letter came from my insurance company for my out of network consult at the Cleveland Clinic Bariatric Unit. The letter states it is approval for an Upper GI Series, an Endoscope and the intial consult. Hummm ... I'm wondering ...has anyone on here walked this walk before? Is it possible to do all that in one visit and get results the same day? Comments are appreciated. Thanks... Kathy

Hi...Thanks for posting about our group to Karen...Our group is called * Little by Little* and we meet the first Tuesday of each month...6:00 in the basement of the Church of Christ on East Main Street...There is a lift chair for anyone who can't do steps...We are a good, fun loving bunch.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
