Hello to all,

I had my surgery 10/2001 in TJ, MX, my surgeon was Dr. Kuri. Dr. Kuri and his Staff are great. Recovery was quick and my weight loss was gradual but good, I took off 75lbs and felt great. I had 2 fill's w/in my first 2 yrs, and then due to circumstances beyond my control, I wasn't able to get to TJ for further follow-up. I gradually put some of my weight back on, tried to find a Dr state side that could provide fills, but was unsuccessful, since my surgery was done on the other side of the border.

After speaking w/a friend about her GBP surgery, she asked me if I had every found someone to help me out, and if I had done any more research for a fill Dr. I decided to get online and see if there was anything new, and located this wonderful site. I'm still searching for more info on Dr's that do fills, but the prospect seems more promising.

Within the last 3 yrs, I got married, had a beautiful son (1st child), thankfully no complications w/my pregnancy and my band. I actually lost 40lbs w/my pregnancy. But, unfortunately, I've put all my original weight back on since my son's birth, and I really would like to be able to find a Dr closer to me that could help me. I have a 2yr old that runs circles, which I would like to be able to keep up with, and I'd like to be around for.

If anyone has any info or suggestions regarding fill Dr's in California, please let me know. Thanks!:thumbup:

If your willing to come to So Cal Dr. Helmuth Billy in Thousand Oaks.....I know they have other offices try going to their website, Journey Lite. Good Luck and I know you can get back on track with some fills.

Thank you for the information, I'll be sure and ck out the web site!
