Hi, I was recently banded by Dr. Ortiz on April 7, 2009. Prior to the surgery since I'm also a physician, I was concerned about the risk, about the possibility that having the surgery and not having immediate results. I'm amazed that my wt. prior to the surgery was 182 and today I'm 170. Im still in full liquid diet, not hungry at all and enjoying the new me.I ahve not regret at all of having the surgery except that I should it have it long time ago.
