Hi Everyone! I'm new to this site. I was banded by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana Mexico on April 20, 2006. Boy the surgery is a breeze compared to the liquid diet that follows! I'm battling it ok. My presurgery weight was 263 and I am currently weighing in at 242. I guess the rapid loss of weight it making the liquids easier to consume:p. I am just now starting to feel a little more hungry. Do most people have a fill 6-8 weeks post-op? I feel I might. But, I'm afraid it will be too tight:cry . If anyone can help me with this question, that'd be great! Julie

Hi Janice, I just had my band placed on April 20 by Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana MX. Wonderful surgeon!!! Not to mention it was sort of like a mini-vacation! I was very scared. But, it wasn't bad. As a matter of fact my friend (she was also banded the same day) and I went shopping the next day! We were a little sore. But, I tell ya, we were very sleepy early that evening! :notagree Good Luck!
