:confused: My son and I went to Dr. Ortiz in Mexico and had our bands placed Sept. 7th-3 weeks ago today. I started eating solid food this week. I am feeling only a little restriction so am being very careful about how much I eat. We are having our first fills on Oct. 30th. We both wish it could be sooner. I have not started exercising yet. My motivation is low! Are there any exercise challenges on this forum, especially for those newly banded? Happykat

I got my band on Sept 7th in Mexico. I lost 10 pounds pre-op and have lost 5 since the surgery. I get my first fill on Oct. 30th. I hope to feel the restriction that I hoped for from the beginning. I am encouraged by seeing all the pounds that have been lost by others. I can't wait til I reach one-derland!!! Happykat
