Our expert team

JourneyLite is built around a team approach. Patients are supported by experienced surgeons, medical providers, and registered dietitians who focus specifically on weight management and bariatric care. JourneyLite’s physician leadership includes Dr. Trace Curry and Dr. James Augusta, and patient evaluations commonly include both medical and dietary assessment so treatment plans are practical, personalized, and designed for long-term success.

This team-based model matters because successful weight loss care is not one-size-fits-all. Some patients are best served by surgery. Others may benefit from a gastric balloon or medical weight loss medications. Many patients need evaluation after a prior procedure to determine whether a revision or a combined medical-and-surgical strategy makes the most sense. JourneyLite’s experience across all of these areas allows patients to explore options in one coordinated program rather than bouncing between disconnected providers.

JourneyLite Surgery Center: a dedicated bariatric surgery center in Cincinnati

JourneyLite Surgery Center in Cincinnati is the heart of our surgical program. JourneyLite describes it as a dedicated outpatient bariatric surgery center designed specifically around the needs of weight loss patients and notes that it is the only center of its kind in the country. Across JourneyLite pages, the facility is described as approximately 9,500 to 12,000 square feet, reflecting different page versions, but consistently as a purpose-built outpatient center focused on bariatric surgery and related procedures.

Our main area of focus at JourneyLite Surgery Center is weight loss surgery, revision surgery, and gastric balloon. Procedures highlighted across JourneyLite’s site include:

• Gastric sleeve (VSG)
• Gastric bypass
• Lap Band
• SADI/SIPS
• Gastric balloon – Orbera, Spatz, and Allurion
• Revision procedures, including band-to-sleeve, band-to-bypass, sleeve-to-bypass, and sleeve-to-SADI/SIPS

For patients seeking a highly specialized bariatric program, that focus matters. Rather than functioning as a general surgery center that happens to perform some bariatric procedures, JourneyLite Surgery Center is built around obesity treatment and metabolic surgery. That specialization supports streamlined care, experienced staff, and a program centered on safety, education, and long-term follow-up. This is also one reason JourneyLite has earned multiple quality distinctions and payer recognitions over time.

Accreditations and quality recognitions

JourneyLite highlights multiple major quality designations for its bariatric program and surgery center, including:

• MBSAQIP-Accredited Bariatric Surgery Outpatient Center of Excellence
• Anthem Blue Distinction Plus
• United Healthcare Optum Bariatric Center of Excellence
• Aetna Institute of Quality

These recognitions reflect a strong commitment to outcomes, patient safety, appropriate patient selection, and multidisciplinary bariatric care. JourneyLite has repeatedly emphasized that quality and affordability can go hand in hand, especially in the outpatient bariatric setting.

JourneyLite procedure firsts and bariatric milestones

JourneyLite and Dr. Trace Curry have been associated with a number of notable procedural and accreditation firsts. According to JourneyLite’s own published history, these include:

• First ambulatory surgery center to receive an SRC “Center of Excellence” designation in 2010
• First ambulatory surgery center to receive Anthem Blue Distinction status in 2010
• First gastric sleeve performed in an ASC in the United States in 2011
• First same-day discharge gastric sleeve in the United States in 2013
• First Orbera and ReShape gastric balloons placed in the Midwest in 2015
• First SADI-S procedure in an ASC setting in the Midwest in 2016
• First ASC in the United States to receive MBSAQIP accreditation as a Comprehensive Center in 2016
• One of the first outpatient surgery centers accredited as an MBSAQIP Outpatient Center in 2017
• First ASC to receive Optum Bariatric Center of Excellence designation in 2019
• First Obalon gastric balloon placement in Ohio in 2020
• First Spatz-3 adjustable gastric balloon in Ohio in 2022
• First Realize-C gastric band placement in Ohio, and second in the United States, in 2008

These milestones reflect the program’s long-standing focus on innovation in both surgical and non-surgical weight loss. For patients, that means access to a center with deep experience not only in established procedures like gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, but also in revisional surgery and advanced balloon therapies.

Why patients across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana choose JourneyLite

• Primary weight loss surgery
