Hi...

I am 37. My BMI is 39 and I'm so tired of being fat! I want to be banded but don't have the support of my family. I've been considering going to Dr. Kuri in Mexico. My family thinks I'm crazy to go to Tijuana to do this. But I don't have a lot of money and have heard really good things about Dr. Kuri. I do have one friend who is willing to go with me (he doesn't want me to do it but would rather I didn't go alone). So, I'd like to know if anyone here has gone without the support of family and came out of it ok? And how did they react after they found out you had gone? Also, does anyone here know Dr. Kuri and was banded by him? How was your experience?

Thank you, Jenny

I was one of the ones who had no support but dicided to do it because only I knew deep inside that this was hope for me to change my life for me and not anyone else. On the morning that I was leaving my husband, mother and sister all tried to convince me not to do it and yet I went with a positive attitude that everything would turn out right and let me tell you its the best thing that could of happen to me. Dr. Kuri is a great doctor I have not regrets, don't let anyone make you change your mind because you are the only who knows what is best for you!!

Good luck
