I live in Omaha. I'm being banded on the 20th of April by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. I grew up in Texas, and have lived in California and Colorado.

Barb, I'm going back to Dr. Ortiz's office in Tijuana. I haven't tried to find a doctor for fills here in Omaha. I personally spoke with Dr. White at his seminar, and he stated he will not fill any patient banded anywhere else as he didn't want his practice to become a "fill center." He's a very nice guy, though. I let you know how my fill goes.

Barb, I got back into town on Saturday. My fill went great, and I'm on liquids for the next few days, then I'll see how solids go down after that. Dr. White works out of Immanuel. That's where I went for his WLS seminar. He does RNY, too. Most of the seminar attendees were there for that type of surgery. At that time, he told me he had placed 150 bands. He has a great surgery reputation, but I just was not comfortable with the low number of bands he has placed. That's why I went to Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Ortiz and his staff!
