Banded by Dr. Kuri on 09/23/06

Hello everyone, my surgery was 3 1/2 weeks ago. I am scheduled for my first fill exactly 4 weeks from my surgery.

Until Saturday night I have not had any problems. However, on Saturday night I ate way too much food and I have been experiencing low/mid back pain (on the left side) every since. Does anyone know what is causing this pain?

Hello TG, and welcome. You've got your first fill coming up soon. I like your pies, by the way.

Hi,

I'm not banded yet, next month, most likely with Dr. Kuri. So I can't answer your question about the back. Hopefully someone will get back to you soon.

My question to you is, does Dr. Kuri stitch the stomach area to prevent slippage? I heard that was the best thing for Doctor's to do.

Also, can you tell me of your experience with Dr. Kuri?? Anything you can will be helpful. I am on the fence in deciding on 2 doctors. Dr. Kuri or Dr. Ortiz
