Dr James Augusta removed my gallbladder in 2017. Ever since, l’ve had severe pain that even landed me in the hospital a few times. One of those visits, a colleague from Dr Augusta’s office laughed as I laid there crying in pain wanting answers, telling me there was nothing they could do. On September 19, 2025 I surgery to remove the large “nub” he left that had become fused to my large intestine. It also had multiple stones in it. Yesterday I went to the grocery store, and for the first time in years, I was able to go through the whole store almost pain free. Be very careful who you choose when it comes to your health.

I just had my surgery at JourneyLite with Dr. Augusta on 12/16, and so far, it’s been a really good experience! The staff has been helpful and supportive every step of the way, and Dr. Augusta has been great to work with. I’m feeling positive about my recovery and excited for this new chapter.

I had my sleeve surgery with Dr. Augusta at Journeylite on December 9th, and I’ve really liked him. He’s been fantastic with my follow-up care and has made the whole process feel smooth and supportive.

I also had Dr. Augusta, and JourneyLite has been nothing short of amazing. I go to the Dayton office for my follow-up appointments, and the entire staff there is just incredible—so helpful and supportive. Their surgery center in Cincinnati is great too, and overall, the whole experience with their team has been wonderful.
