My Mom lives in Reston so I am out there a lot. I am a self pay so I could not afford to get banded in the US. But I will be looking for a fill Doc. here, does your doctor do fills for people banded in Mexico?

Hello fellow bandsters! I too was banded in Mexico on 6/14/06 with Dr. Ortiz. I have never been so happy, i was not approved here in the US but I guess they want you to be huge in order to qualify. i think everyone with a overweight bmi should get it. Well I would love to meet people that have been banded and have a moral support group. I live in Fredericksburg, va but travel alot up north. I would love to have another get together if possible. I just got my first fill last week. The Dr. was in Tysons and pretty good so if you need info let me know. Has anyone had a fill so far? Please let me know how it went. Im getting nervous that I wont loose anyweight so far. ive lost 21 pounds so far but kinda at a stand still. Please anyone let me know. Also I heard that thel ess you have to loose the slower Fill me in guys

Hi, to all VA bansters. I would love to get together after my surgery (Aug 1st) only 3 days away, I am so excited. I seem to be one of the oldest ones in the group. I will be 52 on Aug. 5th the day after I get back. I have been overweight all my life, it sure would have been wonderful if this was available to me when I was your age. Lets set a date to get together in late Sept. We all all over the state, so we can pick a location in the middle. I live in Woodbridge but I can see that we are stattered all the way between Leesburg and Richmond. So lets all pick a date, see who can come then pick a meeting place.

I'm from northern VA, near DC. Was banded last November, and am down 150 lbs, and feeling great!

Dr. Eric is my doc. They will not fill mexican banded patients. Generally they will not fill patients they did not band, unless it is a relocated patient from a doc they have a relationship with.

Sorry.
