Of course there is a "negative attitude".............You just look a big chunk of change out of the guy's pocket!..............LOL At Dr. Ortiz's office they give you a number of doctor's who will do your fills.

I had mine done in Mexico by Dr. Ortiz. Best medical care I have ever had..............should send a few Ont doctors down there for training............LOL Working well for me. If you are addicted to sweets or drink a two four a day.............It won't work but if portion control is your problem, as it was mine.............it is a life saving tool!

Job well done!

Ontario here.............What do you need to know?

After you follow the other forum members advice, the only good advice I can add is..........chew your food to the consistancy of applesauce............This helped me........BUT........you have to get things turned around.........so listen to those that have "fought the battle and WON"

Well Done! Keep at ..................you are an inspriration to

I have heard good things about them both. I tried to put a deal together with both of them but they wouldn't bend on their price so I went to Mexico and saved $10,000. If money is not a probem I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

Everyone Might Not Be As Stupid As Me But Here Is What Happened:- I asked for and got an extra 1 CC for my second fill. The reason is, the first 3 CC's I got after my operation gave me "restriction" for about 2 weeks then subsided. I thought 2 extra CCs would do it (even though the PA didn't agree). I couldn't keep anything down, so I went back for an "unfill". Sooooooooooooo.............When they say "1 CC".............listen to them! The more fills you have the less it takes...........A Lesson Learned!

Hi Tom, I asked the owner of the site that question because I own a BB as well. Looks like the BB may be going the way of the Dodo bird because this site and I think I read Netflix as well, will not be deveopling anything for BB. Congrats on your weight loss! Regards, Colin

I have the REALIZE BAND............and I was told either one could have been used...........depending what the Surgeon found when he was "in there"..............LOL

I self paid as well and saved $10k by going to Mexico...................Best medical treatment I have ever had!

I had mine done by Dr. Ortiz and it was as smoooooth as glass! I was led to beleive that, depending on the patient, Ortiz would use one band or the other but I may be wrong because I have the REALIZE - C band. If I remember correctly he said he would make his decision once he got a look at things (whatever that means........LOL)

No complications...............the next day

I had my first fill today as well and I can hardly get anything down! So far I am happy because before my fill I could eat more than before I had the surgery. I think it affects different people in different ways. Let things settle down a bit and listen to the experienced "bandsters" on this forum. I did, so I am not worried. If it continues............I'll get them to let some air out.............LOL
