I was bannded August 11th, 2009. My surgeon was Dr. Fortier from Long Priarie MN. I am so happy with the results from him and his staff. I have lost 80 lbs since then and I have 30 more to go. I love the fact that he does not use the realize band that only holds 5cc. The band he uses holds 14cc. I know 4 others that went else were and had the realize band and have been having troubles, cant keep food down, gets stuck no matter what they do. Dr. Fortier is the best thing that has happen to my life. I am no longer boarderline diabetic, my bp and cholesterol is back to normal, no more hip and back pain. Thank-you Dr. Fortier for being there for me.
