Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.

I tried all possible diets and remedies and systems for loosing weight. They will decrease weight alittle bit, after I stop taking them , the weight doubles.

What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?

Difficult in breathing, high blood pressure, swallowed ankles and feet, depression, because i used to be active and looking good, and I thought ther was no way to returning to myself.

If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?

I'm only a week and a half after Gastric Sleeve surgery, and right now I'm on pureed food. But since the preop-diet and this short time after the surgery I already lost 29lb. I live in Virginia( but originally am from Russia). My brother in Russia is a surgeon and he's heard of Dr. Curry from Cincinnati, OH at one of the meetings of the International Gastro-Surgical society, who was characterized as the best Bariatric surgeon in the US. I contacted Dr. Curry's office and started the work on preparation for the surgery. At the same time I decided to make a research close to my home in Virginia. I attended several free seminars in Northern Virginia, and I found out that some of the surgeons made from 60 to 100 gastric sleeves during all period of their practice. When I found out that Dr. Curry had already more than 500 GastricSleeves, I made my choice. That was the best decision of my life. I was amazed by the staff of Dr. Curry's office.They create the atmosphere of warmth and cordial attitude to each of their clients. They put you through the most professional seminars with highly qualified dietitians and psychiatrist. What is very important ,at Dr. Curry's center you'll get the cheapest price for the surgery in all of the US. I spent one night after the surgery at the center and the nurses , the doctors embraced me with love and support and were ready to do anything for me. Dr. Curry uses the latest technologies not only in the surgical unit , but in preop-units, where they use the best and the latest to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. It was worth to have such a long drive from Virginia to Cincinnati(8-10 hours only one way), we broke it in 2 days, stayed at a nice hotel, and I wasn't tired at all.
