  1. I had surgery April 13th (moved from the 14th) and have so far lost 15 lbs. I had a hard time at first and was in quite a bit of pain, but doing very well now. Any of you others out there that had surgery the same day?
  2. I was told by Dr. Ortiz that he fills more on the first fill than most Doctors do in 5. The bands he uses are pretty big, so the first fill should at least be 5-6cc. I will definitely have my first fill with Dr. Ortiz. It's free so it seems it would actually be cheaper to fly there and get a good fill than to get 5-6 fills from a local that cost anywhere from $100-$300.
  3. It is because you started on solid food too fast. The longer you stay on liquids and mushies (I've heard), the better your band works and the less complications you have. According to my paperwork, you're not supposed to start on solids until the 3rd week out.
  4. I'm being banded April 14th also. I'm flying in from Florida.
