Hi... I am 37. My BMI is 39 and I'm so tired of being fat! I want to be banded but don't have the support of my family. I've been considering going to Dr. Kuri in Mexico. My family thinks I'm crazy to go to Tijuana to do this. But I don't have a lot of money and have heard really good things about Dr. Kuri. I do have one friend who is willing to go with me (he doesn't want me to do it but would rather I didn't go alone). So, I'd like to know if anyone here has gone without the support of family and came out of it ok? And how did they react after they found out you had gone? Also, does anyone here know Dr. Kuri and was banded by him? How was your experience? Thank you, Jenny

Hi I'd like to know if anyone knows why Dr. Kuri is not affiliated with BeLiteWeight.com anymore? I was considering having surgery with him but now I'm not so sure. Thanks!
