  1. Happy 41st Birthday supermodel!

  2. 5 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 5th Anniversary supermodel!

  3. Hi!! i red your post at lapbandtalk.com and I saw that Dr. Ortiz did the surgery. Right now I'm new trying to find out the best doctor, best price and best results for my lap band.

    Dr. Ortiz is one of my options in TJ, why did you recomend him besides other drs in TJ? I know that this is a medica question, but my main concern is to be able to get pregnant after the It's possible to get pregnant after to get my ideal weight, and not before the surgery in order to not be so flacid. What do you think?

    Thanks in advance.

    For VG 10 cc Bandsters ONLY

    Hello, I am hoping to get some help from you?? My husband has the 10cc band as well and he is getting frustrated. He had his last fill 4 wks ago and has not lost any weight. I don't think he has the restriction that i have because I see how much he can still eat. He is definately a junk food junkie! But he is still eating very little compared to what he was able to eat before. Does he need another fill? Should he take diet pills to aid in his appetite? Any feed back is appreciated.

    Mexico or States

    My two sisters, my husband and I all had our surgeries done by Dr.Ortiz and are all doing fine. I work in the Health Care injustry and would definatly say that Dr.Ortiz is top notch and not bad to look at either.

    Fast or gradual?

    I was banded May 26th and have only lost 40 lbs. I haven't found my sweet spot yet and it really gets frustrating. I thiught is last fill was it but unfortunatly it isn't. I live in Las Vegas and my Doctor is in Mexico which is a 4-5 hour drive. It seem as though I loose a few pounds right after the fill then I maintain. It really is frustrating! This was way to expensive not to work.

    frustrated

    I have an appointment next week for a fill and I am not sure about it. I am scared to have an over fill.... I have been able to eat quite a bit the past two weeks. Today on the other hand everything I ate got stuck. I don't know if it is the band being tight, which meens I don't need a fill, or if it is the texture of the food. My band is really tight in the mornings which seems to be pretty common but for some reason I don't get full. I sure could use some of your advice.
  8. I seriously don't know if I need another fill. I have an appointment next week. Yesterday I was able to eat alot and did not get full, yet today everything I ate seemed to get stuck. I haven't had a "full" feeling in a whille which of course makes me want to eat more. I have not had a PB but some things do tend to get stuck. Any advice??

    You seriously need to get an unfill ASAP! My sister went throught he same thing and ended up having her band slip and then removed. Good luck.

    How many fills do you have to have?

    I seriously don't know. How much weight have you lost? Do you feel hungry and how much restriction do you have?
