Cristopher | Lost 170 lbs * Results may vary
At 345 pounds I knew I had to make a change. My knees, back, feet and blood pressure were killing me. I heard about Lap-Band surgery and decided it was for me. I decided to look outside the US for financial reasons. I had no idea when I started looking that I would find one of the best and most respected Lap-Band surgeons in the world. I couldn't find (through extensive research) a single negative thing said about him! Dr. Kuri is way more experienced than any doctors in my area—and less expensive as well! Even through all of this research I was still nervous about going outside of the country. As soon as I stepped off the plane my worries started dissipating. As promised, there was the driver holding a sign with my name on it. Worries fading faster now, we crossed the border and headed straight for the pre-exams. After that, we went and met Dr. Kuri- all my worries were gone. He is a very articulate, kind and caring person. He explained everything and addressed any questions or concerns. The next day it was off to surgery in a very modern and sterile environment. Four days later, I was back to work and on the road to a healthier life! I've lost 170 pounds now and have a normal BMI. I'm still losing but I imagine in the next couple of months I will have to find a way to sneak more calories in to stop losing weight. Can you imagine actually wanting to add more calories to your diet? Lap-Band surgery is a miracle tool and Dr. Kuri and staff are the best! Thank you Dr. Kuri and staff!! Cristopher
