Why Choose The Lap-Band® System for Weight Loss?

The Lap-Band® is Safe, Reversible, and Effective Alternative to Gastric Bypass

Lap-Band Surgery, an affordable, minimally invasive weight loss surgery, applies an adjustable gastric band around the stomach to control hunger and reduce food intake. The Lap-Band® system is adjustable, reversible and effective in long term weight loss. Dr. Pedro Kuri, a pioneer in the field of bariatric banding and beloved by his patients, has performed more than 4,000 lap-band surgeries since 1998.

Why have lap-band® surgery in mexico?

State of the Art Medical Facility, Expertise, Experience, Affordability, Availability of the Surgeon and Staff, Online Patient Support, and Unparalleled Aftercare

Considering that the LAP-BAND® was only recently approved in the U.S., most US surgeons do not have the extensive experience Dr. Kuri has, nor the impressive track record. Dr Kuri and staff provide comprehensive pre-op and post-operative care and education online, in-person, and over the phone. We have an online support group called the Kuri Patient Board where patients can get support from other patients, in addition to a Patient Educator, team of Patient Facilitators, and other support staff. The financial benefit to surgery outside of the US is significant. Our price is usually a fraction of our U.S. competitors.
