“Finally… a REAL Solution to Achieving Long-Term Weight Loss!”
Why the LAP-BAND®?
Imagine Not Feeling Hungry All Day Long!
The LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System is a simple yet advanced gastric banding system that helps you gradually lose and control your weight with long term success. The LAP-BAND® is simply placed around the stomach to restrict food intake and provide an early sensation of fullness after eating a meal.
The Lapband is a Safe, Reversible, and Effective Alternative to the Gastric Bypass.
One of the unique qualities of the LAPBAND is that it can be adjusted or removed. Unlike the traditional Gastric Bypass procedure where your stomach is cut, stapled, and the intestine rerouted, the LAPBAND is secured by simple and minimal stitching. If removed, the stomach typically returns to its original state/function. Also, the risk of having post-surgery nutritional deficiencies associated with the Gastric Bypass procedure is much less.
Best of all - it works!
The Lapband has provided many of our patients the opportunity to regain their self esteem, take control of their weight and restore them to a healthy, active and happy life. To learn more about the LapBand and Dr. Kuri, please contact us by filling out the form on the right.

State of the Art Medical Facility
The $70 million dollar Hospital Angeles is a full-service facility featuring the most advanced medical equipment, a fully functioning Intensive Care Unit, Cardiac Care, Blood Bank, MRI, CT as well as Emergency Services. Patients stay in Suites which include a private bathroom, Cable TV with DVD, and restful accommodations for a companion.
Expertise
Dr. Kuri, a general surgeon for over 30 years, has chosen to specialize in the LAP-BAND® procedure for the last 11 years. He has personally performed over 4,000 LAP-BAND® procedures. Considering that the LAP-BAND® was only recently approved in the US, most US surgeons do not have the extensive experience Dr. Kuri has, nor the impressive track record.
Affordable
The financial benefit to surgery outside of the US is significant. Our price is usually a fraction of our US competitors. Even those that have the option of using their insurance sometimes find that their out-of-pocket expenses exceed or match what they would pay Dr. Kuri for his all-inclusive package. Also, any medical related expense, including travel expenses, are tax deductible. Many patients have found that they get back a large portion of their expense in a tax return. (Always check with your tax specialist to see what will work for you.)
Travelling Is Easy
We have traveling for surgery down to a science. No matter what route you choose, we provide cross-border transportation to make the process as safe and simple as possible. Our package also includes two nights stay at the Palacio Azteca Hotel – if you choose to use these nights, we provide transportation to and from the hotel and hospital as well. Bottom line is: you are cared for from the moment you arrive.
Availability of the Surgeon and Staff
One of the things Dr. Kuri's patients appreciate most is the availability of he and his staff. Our office is open Monday through Saturday 8:30am - 8:00pm. During off hours, our phone rings directly to Dr. Kuri. Patients are frequently shocked when they get their surgeon in the middle of the night. You can't get that sort of attention in the States!
Support – At Home and Abroad
Dr. Kuri has over 4,000 patients that are available to each other for support. We have an online support group called the Kuri Patient Board, in addition to a Patient Educator, team of Patient Facilitators, and other support staff.
Aftercare
Fill Providers: We have an extensive list of fill providers in various US cities and Canadian provinces. Included is information on how to contact the provider, how much the fill appointments cost (they vary), and any other additional information available. Many patients choose to sometimes use a local provider, but to check in with Dr. Kuri now and again for a fill and check up. Dr. Kuri's fills are FREE FOR LIFE. He loves seeing his patients post surgery!
