What a heartwarming sharing... You speak so clearly as to how the band can help change so much more than weight in our lives.

To truly be present with our loved ones and to no longer feel left out.... to see the joy in their eyes. What greater gift could we possibly offer and receive?

And to look forward to enjoying activities we would have previously felt too self conscious to be involved in...

I look forward to being a part of this "movement". Future banding date: 1/8/09, Dr. Kuri, Mexico.

Hi All,

My name is Carol, and I am being banded 1/8/09 with Dr. Kuri in Mexico.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hello,

I'm scheduled for 1/8/09 with Dr. Kuri in Mexico. I live in Sacramento. Let's keep in touch and compare notes!

Carol

BlooEyes,

Thanks so much for your detailed description of your presurgery with Dr Kuri! I am scheduled for 1/8/09 and very much looking forward to it!

I am scheduled for surgery 1/8/09 with Dr. Kuri. I am happy to hear positive feedback from those who have had him.

Thanks, Jack!

My PCP advised me to go on South Beach rather than get lap band. Dr. Machado's fee for self pay is $15,000 if done at an outpatient surgery center. So I just booked surgery with Dr. Kuri for $7500. I'm excited!

Hi. I also am considering Dr. Machado. Will be attending December seminar. Anyone else out there still pre-op? Any recent cost updates?

Hi everyone,

My name is Carol, and I am looking into Dr Machado for lap band surgery. My insurance has her on their list, and I've looked at her website.

I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone who has her as their surgeon.

Thanks!

Hi everyone. I am new to this forum, and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Carol, and I am from Sacramento. I am interested in lap band surgery, and have been looking at local doctor info. My insurance has Dr Machado as a referring physician.

Has anyone here had Dr Machado? I'd be interested in feedback.

Thanks!

Carol
