ValerieH Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 After reading all the wonderful things that were writte about Dr. Ortiz, I have decided to go for it and have the surgery in January of 2008. He is a wonderful Dr. you will do great. I think you could not possibly start the new year out better!!! I am one week post-op and I have no side affects of the surgery. The liquid diet is hard, but if you step on the scale every other day, you will find the wieght is poosring off. I stepped on the scale on Monday and then on Wednesday and had lost 4 pds between the two days. So far with the post op diet until now I have lost 24 pds. Tommorow I step on the scale again I can hardly wait, this was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbflorida Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well, I guess and early HAPPY NEW YEAR (and new life) is in order. You will not be sorry. I was banded last November 30th. I started at 255 lbs. before my pre op diet and 9 1/2 months later I am at my goal weight of 150 lbs and am wearing a size 6. For me it was an early Christmas present and if I never get another Christmas present again, just looking at my closet full of stylish clothes and seeing who is looking back at me in the mirror is enough. the way I was going I probably wouldn't have lived to see my grandangel grow up - now I feel confident I'll dance at her wedding.

It kept rubbing against my incisions. Next day was better...I wore a tank with a thing sewn in...like a bathing suit...under my shirt instead.
