Hi. I was banded on 2.15.08 in Mexico by Dr. Oritz.

I'm now eating solids, and I must say it's a bit strange. I think the hardest thing for me so far has been not being able to drink with eating. I'm so used to having a big iced Water while I'm eating dinner.

I live in WA State, and am hoping to meet people from all over to support each other during this journey.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome and congrats on your awesome weight loss so far! I know about the drinking while eating thing. I always ate a bite then took a drink. It is different but they say after awhile it will become second nature!

Congrats Mamma! PM me if you like, I'm in WA state also on the west side.

Hey Rhonda,

We were both banded by Dr. Ortiz! Where in Western WA are you? I'm (obviously) in Newcastle.

I will be banded by Dr Ortiz at the end of this month I am from Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island
