At 28 years old, Daniel H from Buffalo, New York weighed nearly 400 pounds, was always out of breath, tired, fatigued, pre-diabetic, and struggling to participate in simple every-day activities with his family.
Before he began his weight-loss journey, Daniel weighed in at 378 lbs. Due to his extreme obesity, he wasn’t able to do much physical exercise to lose weight. To help kick-start his weight loss journey he elected to have Gastric Sleeve Surgery […]
A bride-to-be who weighed 420lbs looked unrecognizable after losing over 196 lbs after having Gastric Sleeve Surgery and changing her lifestyle before her wedding day. The mother of six weighed 429 lbs at her heaviest back in 2018. She claimed she had an insatiable appetite and addiction to food that drove her to eat over 8,000 calories per day.
Darci H. 33, from Seattle, Washington was having trouble finding a dress to fit her 28-30 size […]
Numerous studies in the past year have shown that COVID-19 patients with obesity and other comorbidities are at a higher risk of requiring intensive care unit (ICU) stays and have increased rates of mortality from the virus. Obesity compromises pulmonary function by decreasing the volume of air a person can expel, decreases overall functional capacity of the lungs, causes an increase in inflammatory cytokines, (which has been linked to increased severity of COVID-19 infections) and […]
A new study published by the Journal of Endocrine Society suggests bariatric surgery procedures such as Gastric Sleeve Surgery are effective in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
NAFLD is a condition in which excess fat is stored in the liver. This buildup of fat is not caused by heavy alcohol use. NAFLD is one of the most common causes of liver disease in the United States. The condition usually doesn’t cause symptoms and is most […]
Actress, singer, and fashion model Kelly Osbourne recently revealed dramatic weight loss photos on social media divulging how she shed the weight.
“I did the Gastric Sleeve. All it does is change the shape of your stomach,” she told hosts Dax Holt and Adam Glyn. “I got that almost two years ago. I will never ever ever lie about it ever. It is the best thing I have ever done.”
I suffer with Multiple SclerosisI (MS) and have mobility issues which makes exercise extremely difficult, and nearly impossible. Gastric Sleeve Surgery with Dr Kuri has been a great tool to help me lose weight, help my heart, and learn new eating habits for a healthier life.

The following image compares an overweight 250 lbs woman on the left and a woman of average weight of 120 lbs on the right. We normally associate weight with our outward appearance, but we rarely think about what it looks like, and how that weight affects us on the inside of our bodies. If you look closely, you can see fat compressing the internal organs, joints, enlarging […]
At 5 foot 3, and 320 lbs, Tina Minasyan decided she had to make a change. Like many people suffering from obesity, she struggled with daily tasks such as putting on clothes, walking up steps, shopping, taking public transportation, and many simple, everyday tasks people often take for granted. That change began with her decision to have Gastric Sleeve Surgery.
Five years after surgery, Tina has lost an […]
A study involving 33,560 bariatric surgery patients found that Gastric Bypass patients were significantly more likely than Gastric Sleeve patients to end up back in the hospital in the years following surgery.
The paper, published by JAMA Surgery, describes one of the largest Bariatric Surgery studies ever done, and the first study of its size to focus on health problems years after the procedure.
About half of the patients included in this study […]
There’s a stigma around weight loss surgery, I know that. But more than a year after I did it, I’ve gone from nearly 300 pounds to 160 pounds and I’ve never never felt better. Sure, the procedure isn’t right for everyone (some patients do regain a portion of the weight they lose after surgery), but my only regret is that I didn’t have the surgery sooner.
Growing up in a small town in Kentucky, I don’t […]
