I am going to Mexico (another insurance denial) for my surgery in 2 weeks:clap2: I am excited and nervous but have been reading a lot of the information here and am ready to go for it. Any one else being (or been) banded by Dr. Kuri?

I haven't been banded by Dr. Kuri but I wanted to congratulate you on your impending surgery. That is so exciting.

Do a search for Dr. Kuri and you will find lots of info......

and CONGRATS on your surgery! HOW EXCITING!

Hi Kath,

I am from South Dakota and will be banded by Dr Kuri on Jan. 19th. We will have to compare notes!!

I too am getting banded soon...January 25th!!!! I can't believe all this has happened so fast! As for Dr. Kuri, I know someone who was banded by him. She said he was a very warm, kind man. She had no complaints about his work, and her Doc up here in Washington said the placement of the band was fantastic. Hope that helps. Good Luck!!!!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I just got back from being banded

by Dr Kuri last Friday (Jan 19th). All the people there are just awesome!

Dr Kuri is really kind, I can't say enough for the care and the people.

One thing I wish I had had with me was my English/Spanish dictionary.

Most of the nurses at the hospital have VERY limited English, and being

able to look up a word in English to show them in Spanish would have

helped a lot.

Good luck! I got brave and stepped on the scale this morning, and have

already lost 4 lbs. YEAH! I'm on my way!!!
