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!!!

      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.
