I was banded by Dr. Kuri and thought he, his staff and the hospital were wonderful. It is very convenient to San Diego and they pick you up at the airport (though the size of their van leaves something to be desired, you would think they they would realize they are picking up larger than average size people:ermm). I would have no reservations recommending him to anyone.

Just to put my two cents in, I was banded on Sept. 28, 2006, in Monterrey, Mexico, at the San Jose Hospital by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut. It was a great experience. And, yes, I was scared to death when I left. My sister went with me and thank goodness she brought a box of tissues with her. I cried at every step of the way thinking that I was making a huge mistake. I couldn't believe I was doing this in Mexico. Well, four months later and 57 pounds gone and I'm here to tell you it was not a huge mistake. Definitely do your research and find who you're comfortable with, and remember that when you get there, if you're not comfortable, you can always turn around and come back home...

Best of luck with your decision!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
