For those of you who are not familiar with Dr. Kuri or his annual Bash, this paragraph is for you. Dr. Kuri began this tradition 11 years ago in an effort to thank his patients for their commitment to their Lap-Band and to the improvement of their health and their lives. He finds joy in giving back to his patients and loves to celebrate their journey - no matter where they are on their path. The goal of the bash is to celebrate, learn, support, share, and most of all to have fun!
Though there are many wonderful aspects to the event - including the "Before & After Presentation", the "Century Club Awards", the delicious food, rich educational sessions and fantastic entertainment - of the most exciting, is the "Free Lap-Band Giveaway"! That's right - Dr. Kuri has given FREE Lap-Bands away, year after year.
This August, he will once again give away a FREE Lap-Band. If you're interested in signing up to win, or know of someone who desperately needs the Band but can't afford it, please visit the Kuri Bandster Bash Website for more details. In addition to finding out who the lucky winner, it's also an amazing treat to see all of the many successful Bandsters who are doing the best they can on their journey to a happier and healthier life.
We hope you'll join the Dr. Kuri, his family, staff, and our entire community of Bandsters as we celebrate 11 years of continued commitment to the Lap-Band, our Bandsters, and their success!
