This is a private "peer" group of Dr. Kuri patients who have been banded at least one year or more. This group is beyond the "newbie" stage. In this group, we will share triumphs, NSV's and successes as well as struggles and problems and other life issues that we experience during our weight loss journey. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. We are not here to pass judgement but to offer support and positive suggestions to our bandster friends.
