  1. Hi, I was banded on 4/13 and no regrets here. I am looking forward to the positive things that will allow me to live a fuller and healthier life. Congrats on your decision & keep up the hard work.
  2. Don't be put off by other peoples experience. You just need to learn from them. This forum has been helpful in coaching me on what to expect pre & post op and how to anticipate problems that can crop up. Don't give up on yourself.
  3. Good luck to you both and much success don't forget to take before and after pictures.
  4. Lisalaw you are a wealth of info I really enjoyed reading your post. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this and I will print this for future reference. I'm being banded on Monday 4/13 and knowing this stuff is very helpful. =D>
  5. Just a little info re: another option for fills. I received info on the forum re: Dr Ren @ NYU. I was told that they do care for Dr. Ortiz pts. Here is the link http://thinforlife.med.nyu.edu/aboutus/surgeons/ren.html I was quoted $495. for initial consult then $100. for f/u including fills. I have spoken with this office to confirm the info feel free to contact them.

  7. Wow , you are a great example of sticktuitiveness. You obviously have been very successful w/the band. I will be banding on April 13th YEEEAAAHHH...can you explain what sliming and PBing is
  8. You are an inspiration to all of us who have put off doing something about our obesity and I truly appreciate your honesty. Just think , a year ago you were a totally different person. How about doing something different for exercise like a dance class suggest Zumba its aerobics combined w/ latin dance moves really fun. Not hard on your back at all.
  9. Wow, that was a great update. Thanks and you sound like you're on the right track.
  10.
