“Before, I was depressed and hated myself for all the weight gain, and now I can honestly say, I like the “new me”, and have never looked back!”

My name is Sue Bennett, and Dr. Kuri gave me the best gift I ever received, next to marrying my great, supportive husband! I was banded in the spring of 2000. I have lost a total of 75-80 pounds as a result, and it […]

“Thank you so much for changing my life and providing me with a way to be a totally different person inside and out!! “

I always avoided pictures before losing my weight because I couldn’t stand to look at them. Now, I am sorry that I don’t have one to remind me of where I was and where I never will be again! I think of Dr. Kuri and his sweet staff […]

“My heart is filled with gratitude for Dr Kuri’s dedication to allowing those that may have never experienced life, to do far more than I had ever imagined.”

The Blessing of a Second Chance in the Midst of a Miracle

I am in the midst of a miracle and wanted to share my story as I walk the Journey of a warrior woman and her most trusted friend.

I had made a […]

“I have lost 110 pounds in less than one year.”

I’m not the typical success story, but it is a story you should read if you are skeptical. I started my journey over 4 years ago by traveling to Dr. Kuri for the lap band surgery. Then, for three years, I did nothing. I know…I completely wasted time by not eating right and not getting the proper fill that I needed. In […]

“It only has been three months but I am so happy with the results!”

My energy level has skyrocketed. My attitude has changed greatly. I like buying smaller size clothing. It only has been three months but I am so happy with the results!

“Dr. Kuri and his team are the best, I have had no complications and am very happy with the results.”

This was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I look and feel great. Dr. Kuri and his team are the best, I have had no complications and am very happy with the results. I went from a size 16 to a size 5. My picture does not really show […]

“I am learning to love myself for the first time in my life.”

Dear Dr. Kuri,

Why am I so glad I did the weight loss surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Kuri and his crew? Let me tell you why:

I can’t imagine getting better care anywhere else. There were five doctors in attendance, three surgeons—Dr. Kuri, Dr. Morales and Dr. Espinosa—and the anesthesiologist and I never did figure out who the […]

“Your skilled care and the Lap-Band “tool” has taken me down to 230 from a size 30 to an 18.”

Dear Dr. Kuri,

This is just a brief note of thanks for saving my life with the Lap-Band. I was 385 with aching joints, shortness of breath and no decent quality of life whatsoever. Your skilled care and the Lap-Band “tool” has taken me down to 230 from a size 30 to […]

“I felt like I wasted all of my 20’s and most of my 30’s being overweight, but thanks to the Lap-Band and Dr.Kuri I now have my health, my body and my life back.”

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 am no longer invisible, less than, or defined by my weight.”

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. […]

“The weight loss has given me the ability to really live my life again.”

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 […]

“Dr. Kuri has a kind heart, with his first priority being his patients.”

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 […]
