Hi Everyone!
I'm Sandy. I was banded 9/5/02 in Tijuana by the wonderful (and good looking ) Dr. Ortiz. I've lost a total of 83 lbs. so far.
I had my first fill at 10 weeks post-op, 2nd fill about 6 weeks later. That fill lasted 3 months, and then I've had 2 since then. My last fill was a real doozie! I am VERY restricted! I asked Dr. O to give me a lot of restriction and boy did I get what I asked for! I had hit my first real plateau and hadn't lost anything for over a month before this last fill.
I'm glad to "meet" all of you. Is anyone from this board going to the Bandster Bash in TJ on Labor Day Weekend?
