I went to Mexico to Dr. Kuri for surgery an I have my fills done at columbia presbyterian hospital. I pay $165 for fills.

Ok I am really nervous I was banded in august and yesterday I had a virus which made me dry heave 3 times I tried everything I could not to throw up. Today I have a sharp pain in my stomach that really hurts right where the band would be. Does this mean I hurt the band or do you think it is just sore? I am really nervous please any help would be appreciated.

I too went with Dr. Kuri he was great I went by myself from NJ. and everything went great. I had it done on August 19 and I have lost 34 lbs. I feel wonderful and I would do it all over again.

I was also banded in Tiajuana. At hospital Angeles by Dr. Kuri. It was a really good experience. I went by myself and Everything went well. I am glad to hear that you also had a great experience. My friends and family were really upset about the Mexico part so they thought if noone went with me I would chicken out and not go! They forgot one thing I am very pig headed and when I want something I that bad I will get it! I spent 2 nights in the hospital and then the Dr. had a beautiful hotel he uses for 2 nights and that was included in the price.:biggrin:

I did It i was banded on Aug 19th and I feel a little sore but, other then that I am feeling realy well. I went to mexico with Dr. Kuri and I couldnt have had a better expirience anywhere! He was great as well as his staff I was lucky enough to meet a lot of bandsters while there, they were a great support and inspiration. Just had to to post taht I can't believe I did it!!!!:biggrin::thumbup:

I am going on Monday to Mexico. My reason is because I do not have health insurance and it is much cheaper there...

Ginaj I am going to be banded on the 19th in Mexico with Dr. Kuri. Where are you having it done?

I will Be banded by Dr. Kuri on Aug 19th.. What is your surgery date maybe we will be there at the same time.

i'm only writing to see if my banner worked. I am having a problem

Hey, I just wanted to say that I am getting banded with Dr. Kuri on Aug 19th. I hope we get to see each other!!!!

My surgery is on August 19th and I am also going on a cruise, I leave on July 20th one month before my surgery I will need that time to lose the wieght i will gain on the cruise. I would love to share our stories. Have a great time on your trip.:thumbup:

I am experiencing the same thing i am a single mother of two adult children. I am going to try and adopt my fosterson, and i dont think it is fair to him or to myself being as heavy as I am. So, I made the decision to do this and i told my 2 best friends. first they started to argue over me going to Mexico to have it done and then the heated arguement went to I am taking the easy way out. After 42 years of being obese and trying every diet. I dont think I am taking the easy way out. I am using all my savings and taking out a loan for a portion of it, and traveling to Mexico by myself because none of my friends will go with me. So since the initial arguement with my friends they both said they wouldnt discuss it anymore. So I didnt well my friend thought I dropped it, she was very surprised last night when she over heard me talking to a women who had the procedure done and I told her the date of my surgery. I hope your friends and amily come around and for that sake I hope mine do to. Good Luck:smile2:

Is Mexico a good idea? I am single mother and I am wanting to adopt my foster son. I keep saying I wont be able to keep up with him since my kids are grown, I feel that its bad enough that he will have an older mother I dont want to be the fat mother at all his events. I have never been thin, But all my friends think I am crazy and will not support my decision, of course they are all thin. I dont have insurance so having it done in the US is out. I will also be going by myself because noone will go with me. I really want honest opinions please:smile:

I just wanted to say Hi, I am at the very beginning of this journey. I will be having my surgery in Mexico. I am just trying to get funding together and then I will book my date. Does anyone know a fill Dr. in NJ or NYC that will do patients that had surgery in Mexico?
