If So Please Let Me Know Anything You Can About Him. Even If You Didn't Use Him And Have Heard Useful Info Please Indulge!!! Thanks For Your Time Fatbgone

I AM SCHEDULED TO BE BANDED 1/27/06 IN TJ BY DR KURI.:alien AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SINGLE NEGATIVE THING SAID ABOUT HIM OR HIS STAFF. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING BAD IN PARTICULAR, JUST WANT REASSURANCE I HAVE PICKED THE RIGHT DOCTOR FOR ME. I FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT ANY INPUT WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME FATBGONE!!!!

I Was Banded In The New Hospital 1-27-06 And Had A Wonderful Experience. Couldn't Have Asked For Better Care. Only Complication Was Language Barrier With The Nurses. There Are People In Hr Available If You Need Someone To Translate. Hospital Is Georgous!!!!!!!!! Top Notch. Going To Mexico Was The Last Thing I Thought I Would Ever Do Two Years Ago When I Started Researching Lapband. Now I Would Feel Comfortable Referring Anyone To Dr Kuri. My Husband (scardy Cat Big Time) Even Said It Was A Great Experience. Dr Kuri's Other Patients Have Already Told You The Truth About Him. He Was Awesome. Very Caring And Personable. And Straight Forward. Couldnt Ask For A More Skilled Surgeion Either!!!! Good Luck In Your Decison Making Process. It Will Be Something That You Have To Have Peace About. Once I Made My Decision To Go To Tj I Wanted To Leave That Day I Felt Sooooo Good And At Peace With My Decison. Just Make Sure You Have After Care Lined Up Unless You Plan To Travel To Tj For Fills!!

Hello Everyone, Thanks So Much For Your Responses. This Is Really Cool. If Anyone Has Time To Share Your Trip Expieriences, Things To Take With Me, And Where Your From I Would Love To Hear It. I Am Getting Excited And Nervous!!!!!!! I Just Dont Want A Slip Or Erosion, But I Guess Regardless Of Where It Is Done This Is A Risk!!!!!

HELLO EVERYONE, I PRETTY MUCH DECIDED LAST NIGHT AFTER ABOUT A YEAR OF DEBATE THAT LAPBAND IS MY CHOICE OF ACTION. NOW FOR THE HOMEWORK. I WOULD LOVE TO GET INFO ON PRICING FOR CASH PATIENTS FROM ANY DOCTORS LOCATED NEAR PENSACOLA FLORIDA. I WAS REFERRED TO DR JAWAD IN OCALA, BUT WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE CLOSER. DR LORD IN PENSACOLA IS $18,000+ AND BCBS OF FL DOESNT COVER ANYTHING. WOULD LOVE TO SPEND LESS, OBVIOUSLY. ANY AND ALL INFO WOULD HELP. YOU MAY ALSO EMAIL ME AT ANNAADAMS15@JUNO.COM THANKS, ANNA
