Like so many others I have struggled with obesity since childhood. I had the ability to be successful with some of my dieting efforts but the weight always ended up coming back on with extra to spare. So I knew when I read about the Lap-Band that […]
Shortly after I was married I came to the conclusion that my weight was hindering my life. I weighed 272 lbs. and all my clothes were so tight that I was miserable. A friend of mine had gastric […]
I was one of those people that had genetics against me. I was always heavy for my age, no matter how young, and was taught to clean up my plate because there were kids in other countries going without anything to eat. My parents prided themselves in the fact that if we didn’t have money we would always have food. […]
My name is Eveleine Currier and I am a Patient Facilitator for Dr. Kuri. I want to thank him for helping me to make the best decision I could have ever made. The LAP-BAND has given me my life back. The weight loss has given me the ability to really live my life again. To be able to […]
What the band has done for me...hmm. I can think of many things that it has done for me. But some things that really changed my life are: Lap-Band surgery let me live an actual "teenager" life. It has helped me play my sports easier without having to take heavy gasps by just walking down the field. It has changed my life in ways I can't explain. I end up thinking every night about how it has changed my life. I actually bought my first two-piece bathing suit last month. The band has showed me a healthier way of life. Thank you for everything and making that major decision to let a [then] 12 year-old girl get this chance of a lifetime. - Hannah
Having surgery performed by Dr. Kuri has been one of the best choice I have made in this journey. With his care, the excellent staff, and the exceptional facilities I was put at ease before the surgery and confident that I was in some of the best care available. Thank you Dr. Kuri and all your staff for helping me make […]
In early 2006, I was 430 lbs and the size 58 pants in the picture fit me tightly. Even with that extra stretch waist band. I really have two jobs, I sell Medicare insurance products to Senior citizens where I manage 12 agents in about five states, and I also sell medical equipment to […]
I would like to thank Dr Kuri for everything he did for me when I had my surgery on Tuesday, January 19. During our meeting on Monday, I told him about my hiatal hernia which was a real worry of mine. He said he had only had 3 cases out of over 4,300 where he was not able to […]
This surgery was the greatest thing I’ve done for myself. I still got a ways to go…but it’s going! It’s a tool, not a miracle! It’s taught me to eat and chew and taste my foods. Dr. Kuri’s team is the best! I trust Dr. Kuri and his team with my life, and I […]
For twenty years I lived life in the “Fast and Fabulous Lane”. My husband and I traveled the world at others expense through our business. I wore the latest fashions in a size 4 Jr. Petite weighing between 86 and 96 pounds. I thought that […]
