Hi - This is very new to me (actually chatting on the computer) - My lap-band procedure is scheduled for next week May 11th with Dr Kuri. I am very excited as well as very nervous. Have read everything I could find on this procedure as well as on Dr Kuri. I have been so unhappy for the the last couple of years. This feels like a light at the end of the tunnel - at least I have hope again. My two daughters ( 18 and 14) are so frightened about me having surgery and in Mexico as well - I have explained about my health bith physical and mental but they are so scared and I am a little fightened too.

The reactions of your daughters to your upcoming surgery is perfectly natural. Why not let them read some of the numerous positive posts that others have posted who went to Mexico and had the procedure by the same surgeon as you have? Also, show them some before and after pictures.

Hi

My Surgery Date Is May 15th With Dr. Rumbaut In Monterrey Mexico And Me And My Daughter Are Scared For Me To Go. I Feel Like I Have No Choice. My Insurance Will Not Cover It (humana) So What Can You Do ...right? Where Is Dr. Kuri ? How Long Will You Be In Mexico? Are You Going Alone? I'm Still Trying To Decide If I'm Going To Go By Myself Or Not.

Hi - One of my daughters goes to the University of California @ Santa Barbara and she is taking the train and meeting me down in Mexico - She is 18 1/2. Dr Kuri is in Tijauna (is that how you spell it?) right across the border. My insurance won't cover it either - my sister had this procedure done a year ago by Dr Kuri and she has been thrilled with the results.
