dr kuri - planet hosipital?



Recommended Posts

:help:I was planing on using dr kuri in tj Mexico in early jan.

I emailed the planet hosiptal which was on an old site though google. anyway they phoned me today "amy" and said he no longer does surgery there and not to go with him. That this is not us certified.

does anyone know anything about this, its really upsetting. is this just sour grapes, and a recruiter?

any info would be very much appreciated.

I had surgery wth Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana- just type his name on google and the website is there. He is highly recommended and has a lot of experience. He did 900 lap bands last yr alone. I do think there are reps from USA doctors who monitor these blogs and try and scare people away from Mexico. Check out Dr. Ortiz. I was pleased with the surgery.

Hello! Here's Dr. Pedo Kuri's new website:

Lap Band Surgery - Dr. Kuri & Associates

I've heard a lot of great things about him. However, you might want to seriously consider using a surgeon within the United States. The surgeon I used was Trace Curry from Cincinnati, Ohio and he is outstanding. If you are a self-pay, he only charges $14,900. He has an excellent staff! His website is lapbanddoctor.com

Good Luck with your surgery! =-)

The reason I state you might want to go to a U.S. Surgeon is I found out I had a hiatal hernia AFTER my lap band. I was fortunate enough that my surgeon repaired the hernia. It is my understanding some surgeons will not repair the hernia while placing the band and this can cause slippage and erosion. Something to seriously consider.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
