I remember going to san diego for my surgery in mexico and looking back now it was still one of the best decisions that i ever made. My surgery was dec 5,2008. Best of luck!

I had lap band with Dr. Kuri in Dec 08'. He is fabulous and the facilities are beautiful and the staff is very friendly. It was like a mini vacation going there by the way that we were all treated. You are in very good hand.

I went to see Dr. Kuri in December and since I have lost 30+lbs. Another gentleman that went when I did has lost 70+ lbs. We were all very impresses with Dr. Kuri and all of his associates. His facilities were state of the art. and by that I mean there were nice marble floors in the hospital and hardwood floors in the room. Everything was spotless. They picked us up at the airport in San Diego and took us right to the hospital. when we were ready to go home Megel the driver picked us up at the hotel that we stayed at in Tijuana and took us back to a hotel in San Diego where we planned to stay an extra night before flying out. I have pictures that I took of the facilities if you would like me to email them to you. There were 4 of us that had surgery during my stay.

I haven't posted for ages and I think that it is time that I start. My eating has been horrible lately and I feel that I need a fill. So here is what I ate today B- 4oz cottage cheese and a vanilla chai tea(homemade low sugar) S- 3 pepperoni slices L-1/4c pork fried rice and 1/2c chick low mein (which didnt stay down) S- 3oz. tuna fish +1tbs mayo D- Bushes hot chili 12oz (500cal) ouch!!! late snack of 1/2c ice cream There its out. I really need to start watching what I eat again!

Hey Pete, You are right on when you talk about Dr. Kuri and his fabulous staff. Since we were banded on the 5th together I have dropped 10lbs. I'm so excited. I have actually started to add in cottage cheese and egg beaters to my menu because I wasn't getting enough protein. I'm still trying to get in all the liquids that they want but that was a problem even before I had the surgery. My port is the only place that bothers me now. If I move a certain way and I cant lie on that side yet, but all else is going pretty good. We will talk soon. Saara
