My name is Lisle Lozano. I got the lap band with Dr. kuri in 2007. At the time, I was weighting 315 lbs. My pant size was 22. It was really tough to get used to learning what was good for me and how to educate myself in my eating habits. Even after have my third child in 2010 I’m still losing weight. I have not had any body reconstruction surgery yet. I bet you want to know how much I’ve lost! You ready? I have lost 155 lbs!
JoAnn C. | Lost Over 120 lbs * Results may vary
I had been over weight all of my life. When I was in my 30's and again in my 50's I was able to loose around 80 lbs the conventional way. When I got heavy again in my 60's I found it very difficult to do the exercise piece of loosing weight and I felt like there wasn't much I could do to loose the weight. I found my health issue piling up, as I got older. At 64 I found my self with blood pressure, cholesterol, heart arrhythmia, thyroid, asthma, I had one knee replaced and was look at a 2nd knee replacement, sleep apnea, and the final straw was when my doctor told me I has borderline diabetic and we needed to start treating that as well. Well that was not going to happen, I was too cowardly to stick a needle in myself for the rest of my life and I knew I needed to do something about my life. I was worried about the impact that my weight would have on me, as I got older. I was afraid the folks at the care center would have to take me to the car wash to give me a shower. I had even wondered if I was going to have to be cremated because there weren't going to be enough relatives to carry my body to my grave. So I talked to some folks in our town that had been banded. I called a surgeon friend of mine and also go advice and he supported my desire to do the band. I talked to five of them; it had works for four of the five. Some had been banded in Mexico and a couple in Utah. My first plan was to have the operation in Utah. I had letters from my GP and my orthopedic Surgeon telling my insurance company that I needed the operation. They would not pay for it. We appealed the rejection and they would not pay for it in Utah. They were willing to pay $40 thousand for another knee and a lifetime of prescription, but not a lap band.

“This is something they can’t easily teach in medical school and you rarely find such comparison to the degree you find it in Dr. Kuri.”
Dr. Kuri is the most superb surgeon I have ever known. But the funny thing is that I don’t even find this to be his most outstanding quality. What makes Dr. Kuri stand out from all other doctors is his innate warmth and caring. This is […]

“It was the best thing I’ve done in my life because it’s given me my life back.”

One day I heard about the lapband so I went online and found Dr. Kuri. I went in to […]

“I have lost 110 pounds in less than one year.”
I’m not the typical success story, but it is a story you should read if you are skeptical. I started my journey over 4 years ago by traveling to Dr. Kuri for the lap band surgery. Then, for three years, I did nothing. I know…I completely wasted time by not eating right and not getting the proper fill that I needed. In […]
