Some of the Vegas bandsters go to Kuri for fills but they are really frustrated. A few gals said he schedules too many patients at once, and they've waited in the waiting room for up to four hours past their scheduled time. You should call his office and see if they have this problem worked out, or at least take a good book.

Dr Kuri just started using a new/larger/nicer hospital this week. The people who have been filled this week are giving glowing reports of faster times etc. Not sure if he fills those bands though.

I'm a happy Kuri patient, but from the info I have gathered on this board, Ortiz is an excellent choice. So glad he can take care of you!!!!

I went to Dr. Kuri for my first and only fill. I do believe he hit the sweet spot on the first try. I am so glad I went to him for my fill since he wasn't my surgeon. I have perfect restriction!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
