Cheryl B. | Lost 100 lbs * Results may vary

My last hope for a normal life was this Lap-Band and wow what a difference! I can truly say that Dr. Kuri and his amazing staff saved my life. I am down 100 pounds and I can actually walk a lot now. When I was 340 pounds I could hardly walk a half block, now I can go about 10 to 12 blocks with out getting winded. I look and feel great. My father turned 90 in October and I went back there, some of my sisters had not seen me. The look on my little sisters’ face said it all. She gasped and covered her mouth and said “oh my God you look so different.” I cried. What a true gift, to be given a second chance of life. Thank You!

Brian W | Lost 350 lbs * Results may vary

Try to imagine being over 640 pounds, and unable to walk, work, or bathe. This was my life. At age 34 my weight was topping over 640 pounds, and I could hardly breathe. My apartment had trash two feet high in all but one room. As a result, my beautiful five year-old, Italian Greyhound dies due to bacterial infection in his kidneys. He was the only friend I had left. My other friend's stopped calling. If you can't go out, and can't fit anywhere in public, after awhile, those friend's loose contact. Can you blame them? My body stunk; my complexion was grotesque; and none of my clothes fit. Except for stretch pants. Now are you grasping, and visualizing my life four years ago? Need I tell you I was depressed beyond my mind, and addicted to prescription pain, sleeping, and depression medication? I was dying a little more everyday, and my family knew it. They did an intervention, and my sister contacted Dr. Kuri. (The same way you did.) My parents moved me into their house and took control of my rapidly downward-spiraling life. The next thing I knew I was on an airplane to meet Dr. Kuri, and save my life. The surgery was a complete success, and life is as never before! Dr. Kuri's surgical team are as wonderful as he. Dr. Kuri's Lap-Band saved my life, and to him and his staff, words cannot convey my gratitude. I love him and his entire medical staff. Truly, their heart is in this, and the team of people involved with Dr.Kuri are like none other.

Angelia | Lost 90 lbs * Results may vary

“I owe this man my life for giving me the tool to become the healthiest person I can be.”

I have two birthdays! My first birthday is the day I was born and my second birthday is the day I was banded, on 1-13-05. I had reached a weight of 238 pounds and I panicked. I had tried everything to lose weight without success. I did my research and discovered the adjustable […]

The Kuri Bandster Bash is a Blast

For the past 11 years, Dr. Kuri has hosted the most extravagant party for Lap-Band patients anywhere. This annual event, fondly known as The Kuri Bandster Bash, occurs every August and has become a favorite festivity among the Bandster community. Most who attend begin the countdown for the next year’s Bash the day after they leave! Each Bash is held in one of the finer hotels in the Tijuana area, and over the years has grown and transformed from a small celebration among banded patients to a themed party weekend with an emphasis on education and exercise to help inspire and motivate all.

Gillian M | Lost over 100 lbs * Results may vary

“As a nurse for many years, in several different countries, I found the care and professionalism of Dr. Kuri to be the winning combination in my battle to overcome obesity.”

I have always been a ‘PHAT’ girl, trying many diet and weight loss products with no successful, sustainable loss. Finally, I realized my size was preventing me from LIVING MY LIFE OUT LOUD!!! By the summer of ’07, at almost 300 lbs, […]

Reconnect With Fullness Sensations

Feel your fullness sounds simple—a ‘no brainer,’ right? Intuitive, one might say. For some people, eating just to the point where they feel full is an unconscious habit and they cannot imagine doing otherwise. For others, though, eating has become disconnected from physical sensations. For them, eating starts when it is time to eat, and ends when the plate is clean. Reconnecting eating with the physical sensations of fullness is likely to take some practice and patience. Read More:

Diet & Nutrition 6 Vegan Habits Everyone Should Adopt (Without Giving Up Meat)

Vegan Tips for Carnivores? For meat-lovers, “vegan” may be a dirty five-letter-word – but we all have to admit that those following a vegan diet tend to have a smart approach to eating, filling their carts with fresh produce and possessing a strong awareness of what they’re putting on their plates. While the diet may be too extreme for many, there are some sensible, healthy vegan habits that we all should be copying – carnivores included. Leave the meat on your plate, but take these six other veg-friendly tips to heart.

Make Time for Healthy Habits

Oftentimes, you have to cut back on certain activities to create time for others. But when it comes to your health, you shouldn’t have to make concessions. But you can make both happen, even when things get hectic. With a little strategizing, you can fit both fitness and healthy, home-cooked meals into your day.

Small Changes Can really Make Your Weight Loss Take-off

woman-scale-balloons-600x450-COMP-3085848Overhauling your diet and fitness routines can certainly have a huge impact on your health. But making sweeping changes can also be a shock to the system, making them hard to keep up. In fact, studies show people are more successful when they build on small changes over time.

Beyond The Scale – Motivating Ways to Measure Your Progress

Once you determine what your real goals are, you may need more then just the number on your bathroom scale to measure how close you are moving in the right direction to your real goals. A scale doesn’t measure how strong you’re getting, how much better you feel, or if you can play hide-and-seek for hours. The number of pounds we have in our body usually has nothing to do with what we actually want, making your weight on that scale a less accurate performance indicator. Here are some better ones:

Mindful Eating for the Beginner

Do you eat your breakfast while navigating morning traffic, snack in front of the T.V. or desktop dine in front of your computer? Most of us would have to plead guilty to at least one of the above. A study released in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that distracted eating could increase the amount you eat by an average of 10%. It may also make you eat up to 25% more at your next meal. You’re eating but you’re not reaping the benefits of satiety as you would after eating a meal mindfully.
