We would like to share with you a story recently published by UCLA Health of a man who has lost an astounding 177 lbs. While Dr Kuri did not perform surgery on this patient, he is also a world renowned bariatric surgeon that has changed and saved countless lives through surgery. We love sharing peoples success whether it comes from our operating room or someone elses. Please enjoy and let us know if you have any questions for Dr Kuri or our team below.
“I embarked on this journey with a starting weight of 420 lbs, and within just under a year, I successfully shed 200 lbs, reaching 220 lbs. My bloodwork results are outstanding, and I am thrilled to have overcome GOUT. As I mark my one-year milestone, I am halfway to my ultimate goal. I aim to lose an additional 25 lbs, targeting a goal weight of 195 lbs. Future plans include skin surgery and achieving various milestones, including stepping onto the stage to compete in a transformation bodybuilding show.
Guided by my brother, a professional bodybuilder, I am grateful for the unwavering support of the UCLA BARIATRICS team, especially Dr. Chen, who is unparalleled in the world. I express my gratitude daily and would be honored to represent or speak on behalf of the team in any campaign, serving as an ambassador to share how it has truly saved my life.”
With sincere appreciation,
Elven
