Surgeon Testimonial

Pedro Kuri, M.D.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kuri and his staff. My banding experience was wonderful. I have even been back to TJ twice for fills. The only down side I've experience by choosing to go to Mexico for my surgery is aftercare. I have had a problem finding a local Dr. that would provide me with fills. I finally found one 4 hours away that does fills for me when I can't make it all the way back to TJ. Dr. Kuri probably has the best bedside manner of any Dr. I've ever had in my life. He treats you like a precious little baby.....

Back on Track!!!
I'm back on track and as of this morning I was 201.6 lbs. I weighed a few weeks ago and I was up to 212 so that was a big wake up call for me. I'm back on track with eating and started excercising again. I let summer get in the way and kept making excuses not to do the right things for myself. I also started taking my vitamins and supplements and I'm feeling so much better. Oh did I mention I rediscovered H20 again as well. I have to wonder why I sabatoge myself and my efforts with not obeying the rules. I'm also trying to view food for what it should be, I have to eat to nourish my body meaning food is fuel not medication. I'm trying not to think about food, I love browsing cookbooks and recipes but then I start thinking about food and what can I eat or what would taste good. I have also cut out all of the junk like chips, choclate, the crap that goes down easy and doesnt do anything but add fat to my body. When I eat something I try to vision this as fuel for my body and what is this going to do for me, empty calories in cookies, candy etc doesnt really do anything to benefit me so I need to get rid of it. Now I'm not saying I don't have a bit on occasion but honestly the less I eat of the stuff the less I want it. Just hope and pray I can stay on track. At this point in my journey it's mostly me working, the band does help but I'm going to have to dig in to get to goal and stay there.
