odanielle 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Hi all! I just wanted to say hi -- I had my band done in Mexico at the end of August (Dr. Ortiz) - great experience -- and for the first year, decided to do my fills in NYC because of Dr. Ren's reputation. So far so good -- the fills are effortless (except for the train ride/cost!), and on my third, then fourth, reached that elusive non-hunger level. It goes away pretty quickly when I lose weight though - so that can get expensive! By Year 2, I will probably start using the Mt. Laurel fill center for convenience and because I've heard a few good things about the doc. Challenge is, the Ren office has support groups which I've found informative -- they include dinners at restaurants where you learn how to eat ( haven't made it to one of those yet!) Has anyone found/started a support group in the Philly area that Mexico bandsters can go to? Nothing heavy -- just going out with folks, even to cafes/restaurants, who can commiserate with the glacially slow pace of eating that we must undertake! Anyhow, glad to meet some other Philly "Phillers"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
