Benefits of having Weight Loss Surgery

Equally as important as the coin you’ll be saving are the benefits you will experience as a result of Lap Band surgery. The list is endless because the benefits are different for every patient, but in general many cite these as the most impressive:

  • Regaining self esteem and self worth.
  • The support and encouragement of the entire Kuri Community: our team of lap band surgeons, Patient Facilitators and Patient Educator, support staff, and the thousands of other Kuri Patients that have forged the path you are now considering.
  • The shock on people’s faces when they don’t recognize us x-amount of pounds lighter.
  • Enjoying a more active life with family and friends
  • Overcoming a troubling lifelong struggle
  • No longer needing to bring a seat belt extension on an airplane
  • Gaining a healthy relationship with food for the first time ever

Remember a couple of months ago when I sent you some before-and-after pictures via Facebook? You said you’d like to use those for the Kuri website if I was willing and I said I’d be delighted, but allow me to knock off a few more. I’ve lost about ten more (averaging about a pound a week). I’m ready to make good on my word if you’d still like to. If not, then I’d just like to share.

83.2 pounds gone!

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

Banded August 31, 2010

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!!
