I really want to try the tomato pie out. What kind of pie crust do you use? Do you buy the pre-made, frozen or make your own?

Thanks,

Thanks so much everyone. I am having PS on April 13 and I am sooo excited!!

Today is my one year Bandiversary. It is amazing what can happen in a year. I never thought I would be so happy. I am down 70lbs. Just know, if I can do it anyone can. I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!

I loved Dr. Campos too. In fact, I am going in for some work next month .

Heidi,

Sorry I did not call you last night I had some things going on with a friend of mine. I can call you this weekend. I am going to Mexico tomorrow with my father so I can have a consultation for some lipo I need done. I will let you know exactly how it goes.

WOW you look amazing girl. Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks girl. It has been hard work. You are the one who looks amazing!!! I have such faith in you that you will lose all of your weight without a fill. That is so awesome! I would never be able to do that. My Bandiversary is in 7 days and Lord knows I still struggle with my eating habits. I have only had 2 fills and believe its time for a third one and am going next weekend. I am hoping to do some PS (lipo) within the month!!

Hi Ashley,

What part of SD do you live in? You look amazing. I had a friend who was banded by Dr Ortiz about four years ago. I was going to use a surgeon in SD.

I am just kind of on the fence about Mexico in case I have any problems. Did you have any complications aferward? I have two kids under four and it

would be hard from me to go back and forth to TJ if I had a problem. What kind of hours does the OCC keep?

Thanks!

Heidi,

Thanks for the compliment girl. I am coming on up my year anniversary in a few days. It has sure gone by fast! My good friend was banded a year before me. I started being around her a lot and just knew I had to get banded too. It is definitely worth it. I feel so much better now. I am in Mira Mesa in San Diego. What part of San Diego are you in? I know it is hard going back and forth to the OCC, but if you have someone to go with you it makes things so much easier. I am not sure of their weekly hours, but I usually go in for a fill on a Saturday. I had no complications afterward, just a little gas. In fact, I came home to San Diego the same day of surgery and really felt like I had not had surgery. It was a piece of cake. I am very fortunate though because some people take longer to heal. Honestly, I am so happy and I would recommend Dr. Ortiz to anyone. Please email me if you have any questions sweetie.

I wanna see before and afters! You are doing so great Carrie. When I had a TT the first week I walked hunched over. After the first week, you start to feel so much better.

Hi Heidi,

I live in San Diego and go to the OCC each time I need anything. It is simple and you really have no worries. I am actually going to Mexico this weekend for a PS consult and also the following weekend to the OCC for a fill.

I had a tummy tuck 6 years ago and I am one who can tolerate pain. I had no pain what so ever after being banded. Carrie, you are so smart to do it close to home so you can have help. You will not be able to walk standing straight up for a week. This means you will need help getting in and out of bed and showering. Two weeks would be perfect. It took exactly a week for me to be able to walk right without anyone's help. Good luck sweetie!!
