Hi ! I am new to this board - have been reading a lot of posts - I am to be banded in Mexico by the famed Dr Ortiz on Monday, April 9th - which I've begun to regard as my second birthday ! I've been yo-yo dieting for about 25 years now - and I'm so looking forward to the end of that! I'm in the preop diet phase - which is a little tough, but I'm tougher. I'm grateful for this outlet - as I've chosen to take this journey alone - I have found the older I get the less I wish

to confess. Best of luck to all of us ! :clap2:

Congrats on your surgery date! I used Dr. Ortiz too. I wish you much weight loss with no complications! Get well soon and keep us posted.

Thank you! I am so sorry to see you suffered a slipped band! How are you doing now ?
