I went for a slight unfill Wednesday as my losing as been really good and didn't want to mess it up and last fill was a horror story. His asst. tried my last fill and she normally is great buy my port is very very deep in the muscle and it's the lowprofile mini port too but he says that is good once your at goal and it won't stick out, anywho, last time after 8 sticks and I was literally in tears and trying to pass out I was in so much pain well she goes and gets him and naturally he hits it first time.
Well, I had put off a fill because of the scary fill last time but I wanted just a little boost as I was starting to get a little hungry sooner than I wanted so I went into his new office which is fabulous. Right by the malls and all the great shopping areas and the nice hotels and it's this huge office the size of a clinic with all of his same help that are fabulous and with some new great help. I forget the nurses name but she had lost 180 pounds and looked great.
Well Dr. Curry, looking as handsome as ever I might add, suit and tie, (it helps so much to not only have a great fill doc but one that is so kind and patient friendly and the looks are just a topper offer, lol) and he sticks me one time and bam, hits it. I just love him. His wife was banded in Dec. 06 and is already at goal, I seen a picture of her and she's a very beautiful lady. I know she must be proud of herself. She wasn't fat to begin with just wanted to be tiny I guess.
Anyway, I didn't mean to rant but I guess I'm just so proud my fill went so good and wanted to tell all of his patients that haven't seen the new office yet how nice it is and everyone needing the best fill doc or looking for a band surgeon, he is the tops. Go to him. He's worth the drive. I drive 10 hours round trip to see him but it also gets me away for 3 days and get to shop which is always nice.
I was afraid I was doing badly with my band as I started off losing so fast then I hit a 3 month plateau, really 3 months, then all of a sudden it started up losing like at the beginning but he said I had lost about 50 percent of my excess weight and it's been 12 months and that 40 percent is about normal for first year so that was encouraging.
hugs everyone,
Sherri
