Hey Tina,

No, I'm not getting gittery yet, just excited!! I will be glad to give you updates and you be sure and do the same! Good Luck! Kim

Welcome! I'm glad everything is going great with your band. 27lbs is amazing! Keep up the good work. I am getting banded April 6th, I'm soo excitted. This pre-op liquid diet thing is kinda hard though, hopefully is will be easier after I get the band. Best of luck -Kim

I have set a surgery date with Dr. Ortiz for April 14th. Is there anyone else that is going to have theirs around the same time with Dr. Ortiz?

I have to say that I am getting so excited and wish I could go sooner but my schedule will not permit.

I am scheduled to get the band April 5th, I am soo excited too! Are you from around TJ? Or are you traveling a distance, I'm from Kentucky

I have an appointment on April 20 in TJ to be banded. I have told a couple of people about where I am going to have this done, they go off the deep end. Has anyone had any problems? Should I be more worried than what I am?

I also am leaving to go on a cruise at 7 weeks after my surgery. Do you think I should get a fill befor I go or afterward? I am not sure on what to do. I have read some post that people are still eating what ever they want after they go on "real" food. I thought after the band was in place it would start restrecting the intake of food no matter how long you waited to get a fill. Could some one please give me their view point? Thanks

Dear Tina,

I have an appointment to get a band Aqril 5th in TJ with Dr.Ortiz, I will be glad to let you know how it goes when I return next week! And as far as the fill, I believe that everyone is different on how many fills you need. I have heard some people needing none to very few fills, and others needing several.
