After researching and considering bariatric banding for more than 2 years, I was banded on July 14, 2009 by Dr Ortiz in Mexico. So far I have had a smooth go of it.  Since starting the preop diet and now being banded for almost 2 week I have lost 21 lbs.  I will be going for my first fill the end of August. I am looking forward to this journey and I am excited about making the right decision for my future health.
