Overall rating

I had sleeve surgery in March of 2023, with Dr. Augusta. I had looked at other options because I live in Columbus. For a lot of my appointments I went to their Grove City Office. They were very helpful and kept me on track going through my insurance. Journeylite was the best option for me for many reasons. At the large hospitals I felt like a number not a human. I also have a bit of white coat anxiety so I worried about being at the hospital overnight. The surgery center was lovely and relaxing which made the whole procedure better. My EGD was quick and easy and I have bounced back incredibly fast from my surgery. With the Preop diet and tithe first few weeks after my surgery I have lost a significant amount of weight. Thank you Journeylite! Thank You Dr. Augusta!

Surgery Day pre discusión

Dr Augusta is kind, patient, attentive and a remarkable surgeon. Following my gastric sleeve I had no post op pain. The staff at Journeylite are quick to respond to questions, compassionate and supportive.

When I began my weight. Loss journey I weighed 246, standing 4'11"". I had the sleeve done October 8, 2019. Before surgery I wore a plus size 20, and now wearing size 8-10. I only have one regret, and that is I wish I had done it earlier in my life, but it is very satisfying to hear people tell me that I look a lot younger than 75. Thank you Journeylite, you have made happier than I have been in years.

Jonnie G. I had the sleeve done October 2019. When I began my weight loss journey I stood 4'11", and weighed 246 lbs., I now wear a size 8.

2 separate times in less than a year, the scheduling staff made the mistake of scheduling me outside of my "window" for appointment time and I had to go off my medication due to state law for 6 months!!!!!! All I got was "Sorry, we messed up. There is nothing we can do though." If you take Adipex beware. Their staff is not trained well to help you maintain the correct schedule so you can receive your medication.

I am a patient of Dr. Curry, having had laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy in August 2015. As of today, I've lost and maintained 85lbs; I'd do it a hundred times over and I would highly recommend Dr. Curry & his fabulous team of APPs, dietitians, and ancillary staff. Plain and simple, surgical weight loss works if you use it as the tool it's designed for. Every procedure has inherent risks and patients who have surgical weight loss procedures typically have higher than average risks as compared to patients in the general population. The negative reviews should be considered while keeping this in mind; Dr Curry is a very skilled surgeon with an incredibly high volume of cases, so he will inevitably come across complex patients who will experience complications due to challenging anatomy, preexisting conditions, etc. I had fabulous success with my surgery and have had nothing but a wonderful experience with the entire Journeylite team! RD Erin is one of my favorite team members, always giving me great recipes and encouraging me on my journey. Once I hit my goal weight, my journey wasn't over: Dr Curry was there for me when I found myself dealing with a little bit of post-plastic surgery regain. He reminded me that once you're a patient, you're always a patient and helped me get rid of those pesky extra pounds. I'd recommend the entire team without reservation for both medical and surgical weight loss. I'm living a life I never thought I'd be living!

My lap band was placed in 2009, I lost weight and felt that follow up and care I received initially was adequate. Fast forward to 2022, I am having all kinds of symptoms that are concerning for lap band dysfunction. I called for an appointment and was told it would be $129 for the visit and band adjustment- they wanted a credit card right then. They also wanted a copy of my insurance card, even after I told them they weren't a covered practice and I have no out of network benefits for them. A couple days before my appointment a got a call stating that I had no insurance coverage (uh, yeah) and that the visit would be an additional $249; they further explained the $129 was for a "new patient program fee" since I hadn't been there in a while. No one ever communicated to me that I had to follow up periodically to prevent my bank account from being raped. My visit would also result in missing half a day's work and a 2 hour drive each way- which I was willing to do as I trusted this practice. It would appear that the goal here has changed. Rather than excellent patient care, the focus is lining their pockets. Fortunately for me, I found another practice willing to accept me as a patient. If you choose to use these providers, beware- ask lots of questions, get everything in writing.

I have been going to Journey Lite since September, 2019. I was approved for surgery and had a date set for 4/27/20. Due to COVID surgery was cancelled. I went in today to get back on track so I can have my surgery. My original surgeon left the practice, the dr who did my EGD has left the practice. My appt was at 2:30 today. I wasn't called back until 3:11. Then, I sat in an exam room for another 30 minutes waiting for the dr. In comes the "office manager" who says because I am a nurse who's had contact with COVID patients they will not see me today and I have to schedule a virtual visit. It took them over an hour to say this even though I put it on my questionnaire as soon as I entered the office. They aren't even screening with temperatures. I've never had symptoms and always wear appropriate PPE at work. Also, I believe Journey Lite is more concerned with money as they make you purchase their brand of pre-op meal products. I will not be returning to Journey Lite for all of these reasons.

This facility practices unethical business practices. I was told the total cost for a lap band fill is $300. When I arrived they asked for my money immediately. The Dr. made an excuse as to why he could not complete the procedure and I was refused any of my money back. I worked hard to save $300.00 and was very hurt to be mistreated and cheated out of services that was not rendered. Please do not waste your money or trust this facility. They are driven by money and do not care about the patient.

Run as fast as you can.......I started the process with Journeylite for Gastric Sleeve Surgery in April of 2019...what a mistake. I have never have had so much bad information, poor communication with medical staff. You can never actually speak with someone, leave a message and HOPEFULLY a week later they return your call and most likely the person you need to speak with, no longer works there. If you ask a question, you will get 5 different answers from 5 different people. The staff is untrained and confused at all times. You also better have your wallet OPEN, I never had a medical practice make me cut a check for me to meet my annual out of pocket, normally you pay deductible up front and billed the other 20% until you meet max out of pocket..not these clowns. They also want a deposit, thats fine, BUT REFUND IT AFTER THE SURGERY has been performed and 100% claims have been paid. It appears no one in the office has any idea whats going on, and when you ask questions, stupid answers follows. If I was not too far in the process, I would have collected my medical records and went to UC Health or somewhere else, the place is disorganized mess, run as fast as you can.

I only had a brief meeting with the dr. who I thought was fine but I was really impressed by the dietition (not so much that I remember her name though!) She was a wealth of knowledge and explained as much as I wanted to know. I live in Dayton but preferred her so much that I will go to Cincy in future. Keep up the good work!

How a new weight loss procedure is transforming lives for Cincinnati patients

by Kara Driscoll

A new gastric balloon device is helping Cincinnati patients lose unhealthy weight.

Spatz3 is the only "Adjustable Gastric Balloon" in the market, helping achieve optimal weight loss results. The Spatz 3 adjustable gastric balloon was approved by the FDA in the U.S. in 2021.

The procedure is best suited for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 to 40, or a BMI of 30 to 35 with an obesity-related medical issue. With more than 100,000 devices implanted, Spatz 3 has been available outside the U.S. for several years. Here's what you need to know about the device and where to get it in Cincinnati.

1. What makes the Spatz unique is that it is the only adjustable balloon system.

One of the most common side effects for traditional saline-filled balloons is balloon intolerance – a small percentage of patients will not tolerate their balloon and will have ongoing issues with vomiting and discomfort. The balloon would typically be removed for patients with these kinds of issues. With the adjustable Spatz, some saline can be removed from the balloon, which will usually cause these issues to resolve without balloon removal.

2. It’s available in Cincinnati at JourneyLite.

Dr. Trace Curry, a weight loss specialist at JourneyLite, has been offering the procedure with Spatz3 with great success in local patients. JourneyLite Physicians & JourneyLite Surgery Center are both dedicated to the care of patients in Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Northern Kentucky. JourneyLite has done more than 1,000 laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures, 5,000 sleeve gastrectomies, and 4,000 Lap Band procedures. JourneyLite Surgery Center is a 12,000-square-foot outpatient surgical center in Cincinnati dedicated to bariatric surgery and weight loss procedures, including Lap Band, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, SIPS procedure, and gastric balloon. The entire center is designed from the ground up to cater to weight loss clientele and is the only one of its kind in the country. Their bariatric surgery program has been certified as a Bariatric Surgery Outpatient Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and JourneyLite is also an Anthem Blue Distinction Plus Center and an Optum Center of Excellence.

3. The balloon guides patients toward a healthier relationship with food.

The Spatz can be left in the stomach for eight months, compared to a maximum of six months for other saline gastric balloons that have been approved in the U.S. These advantages, along with the adjustability factor, have resulted in better weight loss and long-term success for the Spatz balloon in their FDA trial than for any other gastric balloon. Along with working with a dietitian, patients can benefit from “signals” the balloon sends to the body when a patient is not eating correctly. Over time, the patient can learn from these signals and change food habits to ensure they’re eating healthy amounts.

Russia's Nuclear Deterrent Command Center Imperiled by Winter Freeze—Report

A Russian nuclear deterrent command center in Moscow has been imperiled by power outages that have impacted more than one-quarter of the region's cities amid freezing temperatures, a Russian Telegram channel has reported.

The VChK-OGPU outlet, which purports to have inside information from Russian security forces, reported that the 820th Main Center for Missile Attack Warnings—part of the Russian Space Forces, a branch of the country's Aerospace Forces—near Solnechnogorsk in Moscow is without power.

It serves as the space forces early warning network against potential ballistic missile attacks.

The development comes as Russians are reported to be suffering from power outages in their homes in the Moscow region caused by technical issues at plants amid subzero temperatures.

On January 4, a heating main burst at the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant in the town of Podolsk, which is about 30 miles south of central Moscow. Since then, tens of thousands of Russians are reported to have no heating in their homes.

Affected areas include the cities of Khimki, Balashikha, Lobnya, Lyubertsy, Podolsk, Chekhov and Naro-Fominsk, a map published by a Russian Telegram channel and shared on other social media sites shows.

Other Russian media outlets reported that in Moscow, residents of Balashikha, Elektrostal, Solnechnogorsk, Dmitrov, Domodedovo, Troitsk, Taldom, Orekhovo-Zuyevo, Krasnogorsk, Pushkino, Ramenskoye, Voskresensk, Losino-Petrovsky and Selyatino are also without power.

The Telegram channel said that at the 820th Main Center for Missile Attack Warnings, "the crew...is on duty around the clock."

"It is here that the decision on a retaliatory nuclear strike is executed," the channel said.

Newsweek could not independently verify the report and has reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry by email for comment.

Power outages have also been reported in Russia's second-largest city, St. Petersburg, in the country's western Voronezh region, in the southwest city of Volgograd, and in Rostov, which borders Ukraine, a country that Russia has been at war with since February 24, 2022.

On Sunday, two shopping malls in St. Petersburg were forced to close because of problems with light and heating, reported local news outlet 78.ru. Hundreds of other homes in the city have had no electricity, water or heating for days amid temperatures of -25 C (-13 F).

Russian authorities have also been forced to compensate passengers of a train that ran from Samara to St. Petersburg (a 20-hour journey) without heating during -30 C (-22 F) temperatures. Videos circulating on social media showed carriage windows frozen over. A passenger also said the toilet didn't work during the trip because of frozen pipes.
