Caroline,

Kuri is an excellent and experienced band surgeon. Are you going to his luxury facility or his budget facility? I've been to the budget place and seen photos of the new luxury place.

Sue i am staying at the buget facility and he is having a special for 7,500 for the old hospital and 8,500 for the new hospital.

I wanted to stay at the new hospital after seeing the old hospital but we just can't affod it and after reading posts from the other boards stating that their stay at the old hospital was fine and the service was EXCELLENT- then I figured it was going to be okay.

How was your stay there? At the old hospital that is?

Carmen - Congrats on your date and keep me posted and let meknow how it all went.

I went for a fill, and to accompany someone having a port replacement. I am a very spoiled woman and would not have stayed/had surgery at his budget facility. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it from a medical viewpoint, because I have no training or education to make that judgement. It's just that the accommodations are way too rustic for my taste, so I'm glad he's dropped the price.

He is an expert at banding; you'll be in good hands.

I am a total " HAP" as my husband likes to call me- HISPANIC AMERICAN PRINCESS-lol

But I went inside the hospital and really checked out the facility.

I am not a nurse yet, but a student nurse and made sure there was a crash cart available and anything else that would be needed in case of an emergency.

I just felt so guilty making my poor hubby pay an extra 1,000, when I will only be there one night,

Therefore I am going to bring my own pillow,blanket,towels-lol

Yes I am spoiled too (=
