Im having a HUGE problem with my doctor,she wont even join the fight with me to get payment for my Lap Band Surgery because she says they'll turn me down because I have no major health problems,besides the fact of what runs in my family and my BMI being 36.9(202lbs) at 5'2 inches tall in height.
I Need A SUPPORTIVE DOCTOR,any one know any in the Cincinnati,Ohio area?so that I may have support while trying the insurance companies for payment to get the surgery?

Have I got the answer for you. Dr. Curry. He's the one that answers all of the problems on the complication thread and he's my doctor. He's a doll number one and very very experienced. He's very helpful, supportive and works great with your insurance and he hits your port right on and fills are a breeze. Here's his website. I just seen him Thanksgiving week. Lots of people on here use him. He's attached to Deaconess Hospital across from the University in Cinci. www.thebanddoctor.com

You should be able to go to Dr Curry and he should be able to do all paperwork needed and send your family Dr a letter telling her what he is going to do for you. I live about 45-50 minutes from Cincinnati and have a fantastic Family Dr who is very supportive of my decision to be banded. Money is just the obsticle. If you want to know his name let me know. I will gladly give it to you.
Dr. Curry's number and contact info are on the address I gave you. I am positive he can help you if you just give him a call.

Dr Osborne of the Cincy weight loss center only does lap bands. That is where I had mine done. In dayton, miami valley hospital and kettering hospital also do bands.
good luck!

AnnieM, There are several hospitals in dayton that do the Bariatric surgery, banding included in all but the old St E. Hospital. Good Sam , Miami Valley, Kettering and the old St Elizabeth Hospital all do them as well as Middletown Regional.
