I was banded in hospital angeles in Tijuana by Dr. Kuri, It was a wonderful experience, I did have some nausea afterwards, but the nurses were very responsive (although they spoke little english) THe hospital was very clean, I felt very safe in that part of town, and everyone is very nice, I would do it again in a heartbeat, I have lost 110 lbs. follow up here is expensive, the doc I see charges 375 a fill with a free unfill if need in a short period of time. He uses fluroscopy. I think it depends on what part of the country your are in how much trouble you will have finding a doctor. Julie

HI, My name is Julie, I was banded 1/9/07 by Dr. Kuri. So far I have lost 110lbs and only have 10lbs left to goal, but I find myself rather stalled out, not exactly sure what I am going to do when I actually reach my goal. I was unfilled for the month of October due to gastritis, and my fill is smaller now than it was before that. But I still feel some restriction, I am sure that is contributing to why my weight loss has slowed down. I was hoping to find some motivation with a new group of people.

I use the Naked juice protein drink called Protein zone. It is found in the produce section at Safeway. Its 1000times better than the mixes I tried.
