Just got my first fill this morning after surgery on July 16, 2013 and had no pain or problems. Dr. only put in 1cc. I don't know much about this since it was my first fill but it doesn't make sense that your Dr. would fill your band with 10cc then take it out. Sounds like you still my have to much saline in your band. I think I would go back and have them to unfill you. Good Luck!

Glad you are doing great!! Congratulations, on your new journey!! Wish you the best....16 pounds is great! I m down 23 pounds since surgery on July 16 and will get my first fill this coming Tues. I am a little nervous but I know it will go good.

I went to Dr. Kuri in Tijuana , Mexico or my surgery my out pocket expense was $5500.00 for the surgery and about $900.00 for airfare. Dr. Kuri was wonderful!

Time for a fill....gotta love auto correct lol

Hi Nanaof27, I am glad that you are doing great.....Dr. Kuri is a sweet man and really cares about his patients. I have a Dr. about 30 mins from my home that I will be going to for fills my patient coordinator Joann gave me his name and number. I wished I could afford to fly back to Mexico for my fills but it will be cheaper for me to have them done at home. I hope that you continue to do great and congratulations on your new journey. I am ow 6 weeks post op and trying to decide if its time for a feel. I am down 23 pounds post op.

Good Luck on your new journey !! I was banded on July 16th it is the best decision that I have ever made for myself

My doctor said no soda or any carbonated drinks whatsoever!

Welcome to the bandsters club!! I am 2 weeks post op.....best decision I have ever made! Good Luck on your new journey!!

Carrie, Dr. Kuri is great!!! Nothing but positive with my experience. I actually traveled by myself was met at the San Diego Airport by one of Dr. Kuri's drivers Carlos. He took me to the office where I had my EKG, blood work and met with Dr. Kuri and Dr. Peterson. I also traveled home the day after my surgery with no problems......I was a little sore but made sure that I got up and moved around on my flights. I am almost 2 weeks post surgery and am doing great. I do have problems with gas and I think this is coming with this surgery but found if I am more active it helps. Still on clear liquids and will start mushy foods on Tues. I am down 14 pounds and feel great. I would recommend Dr. Kuri to to anyone. Good Luck!

I am in Indy....banded on July, 16, 2013

Was banded by Dr. Kuri on July 16, 2013. Overall experience was great......Dr. Kuri loves his patients. I felt very comfortable. Going on my 2nd week of being banded and haven't had any problems. I would recommend Dr. Kuri to anyone that is interested in having lap band surgery.

Banded on July 16, 2013 ......feeling great!

I am one week out and do not have a appetite. I struggle just to get a ounce of liquids down I am trying hard to drink water to stay hydrated. I am 4% filled of a 10 cc band
