I was banded at 191 pounds with Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Mexico. Facility and staff excellent. I have a 10cc J&J band so I am told there is more flexibility but it takes more adjustments to get it right. So far have lost 16 pounds although only 5 since my first fill in August (2 months now). I am still happy with my loss but know it can go faster if I could eat less, ie, had more restriction.For my first fill, I flew down to fill centre usa in tampa and they were scheduled to open a facility in 2 weeks in Niagra Falls, which I was told yesterday is not going to happen. So now I am searching for another fill provider and I can get within 2 hours driving distance. Help! karingwiz@rogers.com
