I cannot speak about the surgeon as I had mine done here; however, please keep a few things in mind if you go to MX to have it done - inquire what size band they are using (make sure it isn't the "old" 4cc bands), ask if they use the newer "low profile" port (thinner than the former models), and also make sure you have a doctor lined up locally that will take you and see you upon having the surgery. Not all surgeons will take you if they didn't do the surgery. Also, aside from getting fills afterwards, in case there are any issues post op, you want to have someone accessible right away.

Best wishes on your journey and with whatever decision you choose.

I was banded by Dr. Kuri. Overall the experience was great with him. I had problems later on though with my Dr in the states over filling me and I got esophageal dilation. But that wasn't Kuri's fault. I've had two close friends get banded by Dr. Kuri as well and we all had a great experience.

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.

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!

Hello SWright, I had my lap band with Dr. Kuri on August 22nd, I have not had any problems. How are you doing? Have you decided if you are going to go to Dr. Kuri for fills, or have you found someone to do your fills close to home? I hope all is going well for you!

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
