When Andrew decided to take control of his health, he knew he needed a solution that could help him achieve lasting results. In January 2024, he embarked on a life-changing journey to Tijuana, Mexico, for Gastric Sleeve Surgery with the renowned Dr. Kuri. Now, just over a year later, Andrew has lost more than 115 lbs and is sharing his inspiring story in a new video that details his transformative experience.

Facing Apprehensions and Finding Confidence

Like many patients considering medical travel, Andrew was initially apprehensive about heading to Mexico for surgery. Questions about safety, logistics, and the quality of care weighed heavily on his mind. However, with the support of patient facilitator JoAnn Jackson, RN, BSN—who herself had both Gastric Sleeve and Lap-Band surgeries with Dr. Kuri—Andrew quickly found reassurance. JoAnn and Dr. Kuri’s dedicated team meticulously planned every detail of his journey, ensuring that he felt supported and informed every step of the way.

From Consultation to Surgery

Andrew’s journey began at Dr. Kuri’s office, where he received a thorough consultation and had all his questions answered. He was immediately struck by the professionalism and warmth of the staff, which set the tone for a positive experience. When the day of surgery arrived, Andrew traveled to Blue Medical Tower, a state-of-the-art facility where Dr. Kuri and his skilled team performed the procedure seamlessly.

Transformative Results

Now, Andrew reflects on the past year with a deep sense of gratitude. The Gastric Sleeve Surgery has not only helped him lose over 115 lbs but has also given him a new lease on life. He’s more active, confident, and healthier than he’s been in years. “I couldn’t have done this without Dr. Kuri, JoAnn, and their incredible team,” Andrew says in his video.
