Dr. Pedro Kuri and Hospital Angeles (Tijuana Mexico)



Recommended Posts

I just arrived home last night after having surgery in Tijuana Mexico performed by Dr. Pedro Kuri at Hospital Angeles. I have to say this was top notch care. Hospital Angeles was very clean and felt more like a hotel then a hospital. Even while there the hospital had staff constantly cleaning. The hospital staff was all very nice, polite, and very tentive to my needs. Most of the staff didn't speak very much english but that was ok because there usually was another staff person around that could translate. Dr. Kuri was exceptional. His bedside maner was very friendly and even joked with us at times. He really did a good job of putting myself and the others there for their surgeries at rest about what we were about to go through. I would recommend anyone considering going to Mexico for surgery to seriously consider Dr. Kuri for their LapBand.

I also had my surgery done by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana (Dec 2006). I had a great experience, as you said, the hospital was very nice, the staff very attentive and Dr. Kuri was great. The only drawback for me is not being able to readily go back there as I live on the east coast. I have a dr within a 2 hour drive to do my fills so that has worked out ok...just expensive. I am at 62 lbs lost with only 20 left to go. I have been slow to get fills (sometimes waiting many months before going) but I'm still pleased with the results. Good luck to you!:wink_smile:

Best of luck with your surgery Carol! Brush up on your spanish a little. It will help in going down there. Also the night before your surgery when you get to go out for your last meal go over to the Mexican place across the street. Good food. Of course you can hit up the TGI Fridays right across the street too but hey you will be in Mexico! LOL

I am being banded by Dr. Kuri on 1/20/09 and he came highly recommended by some of my family members. It is good to know that others think so highly of him as well.

He is a great choice for your surgery. My surgery went very well and I was back to work in no time. I am doing very well with everything and continue to lose weight! Best of luck to you!

Thanks Florida Pete. I did a lot of research on my own but it sure helps that people I know have dealt with the same doctor.

      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.
