  1. That is great! What about getting a charm bracelet and adding a charm for every special moment having to do with your weight loss journey! Just a thought. LOve, Dante'
  2. Hi there my motivation was 1st my kids, I want to go on rides with them, I want to not worry if I'll fit in a chair,I want to be able to sit on the floor with my daughters Brownie troop, and I want to live longer then my mom, we both have type 1 diabetes,it took her at 61 and my Dr. said if I don't get this weight off I may not live that long, and Damn it I want to be SKINNY 4 once in my life! Good luck to all, Dante'
  3. Thanks to everybody,I know Dr. O is a great person,and maybe I didn't do the best I could have, and I did need to hear what he said because I want this soooooo bad.. And I have challanged my self to lose 15 lbs. b4 my next fill. Thanks to all, Dante'
  4. Hi there, I'm kinda really depressed. I went back to OCC with my husband to get my 1st fill and my husband got banded on 8-14-08, and when I talked to Dr. Ortiz he asked how I was doing and I told him that I'm totally ready for my fill and that I'v only lost like 6-7 lbs. since my syguery and he totally ripped me a new one how I didn't follow his guide lines or I would have lost much more. I told him I had a problem with all the salt in the broths and I had a lot of up and down water weight with that and he told me that was all in my head, that I was not working with my band, that I totally screwed up and that I bacically failed the first 6 weeks.I know that I was eating less food,and maybe could have done better, but he told me not to depend on the fills,that it's also will power. If I had all that will power I wouldn't be over weight,I thought we needed the fill to make us tighter? Am I wrong, he just totally blew me away,and I still feel really upset! Thanks for listening, Dante'
  5. I'm with you, I can't wait to take my kids ( 13 & 5 ) to amusement parks,what a GREAT goal. Dante'
  6. Dante' Fishell san diego,ca age _39 F Highest weight _345 Banded weight - 312 current weight 310 First Fill - 8-14-08 Ok now how sad is that!
  7. could you share what book you got with the resturants in it? from your weight loss it sounds like it helps, your pics. look great !
  8. Hi, this is also my 2nd week of being bandded,my son and I were done the same time . We keep going up and down with our weight, everybody tells me it's all the SODIUM that is in the soup and that is true,but it is still discouraging,but I weight 302 and at my size I have to lose a lot of weight for it to really show.I've lost 45lbs in the last year and just bearly notice it. But from what everybody says on here and what I have read we won't really lose much weight until we get our fills,so just hang in there,and good luck. Dante'
  9. Hi how old is your daughter? my son and I also had syguery together,he is 13. Dante'
  10. Hi there,my son and I are having our first fills August 14,in fact our syguery went so well my husband and sister are going with us and getting bandded that day as well.
  11. Hi there I'm Dante' my son and I had syurgery with Dr. Ortiz July 2. We had a great experiance with the whole thing. Hotel Lucerna was GREAT, all the staff at the hospital,everywhere. I had not been to TJ in many years because I was tooooo scared, my husband and I took our two kids( Joey- who had the syguery- 13) and our daughter Shelby- 5. Hotel Lucerna has there own taxi to take you to REVELUTION AVE. to do shopping and all that. no problems at all , just spent tooo much money on goodies. When your at hotel Lucerna -after your syguery ( I know spelled wrong sooooorry) ask the resturant to make you some of the Chicken Tortilla Soup strained, it is better than sex, well at least for a while. No worries just relax it was such a breeze. Take care, Dante'
