    I was banded in Tijuana Mexico, on Oct.02.07.By doctor Lopez Corvala. at the time i was 260lbs, after four fills am down to 220 lbs. but i feel i can't get out of the 220 range.Thats why am glad i founded this site. I don't feel alone anymore. I am part of a special group of people the Banders.Am hoping to return to Tijuana before the year is up,for one final check up by the doctor. Hope by then am less the 220lbs.:cursing:

  6. I have been banded since 10/04/07. The first few months I lost about 40Lbs, but since then I haven't lost any more. With over 7cc fill which I needed to get unfill due to acid reflux that was affecting my esophagus. I honestly feel I haven't benefit with the band, instead I have a health problem I didn't have before. :blushing:

I have experience that after dinner I'm not hungry until dinner the following day...I still make an effort to eat a lite brunch...... Trapped... on my third fill, the np unfill the band and 1cc of saline had dissipate. My band was check for leaks with a dye under floro...no leaks!!
