congratulations! i was banded by Dr. Curry in april. i live in cleveland but make the drive down to cincinnati for my fills, etc. he was the best surgeon after all my research so i don't mind the drive!
good luck on your first fill... don't be surprised if you don't actually get to see Dr. C.... he usually has someone else do the fills.
most likely your fill will be done under flouroscopy (xray) to make sure the band hasn't moved at all. you'll have to stand in front of this big machine and you'll get to see your band on a computer screen... ask if they can print out a copy... i did and have it hung up at work lol
don't be suprised though... you'll get sprayed with lidocaine to numb to skin but she'll IMMEDIATELY stick the needle into your port. i didn't know what she was doing the first time and i grabbed her arm before she could stick me. (not a good thing to do!! lol)
if you ever have ANY questions EVER, Dr. Curry is great in returning emails... usually withing 2 hours! it's the one thing i really like about him.
good luck on your new journey!!
kris
