Dolittle Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 After a full summer of picnics and fun, many have scheduled their lapband surgery and band adjustments during the month of August. This topic is where you can meet and hook up with those who are coming to the OCC during that month. It's fun when you kind of know who's going to be at the OCC at the same time as you. You've met here at the forum and soon you'll get to meet them in person. So, lets hear from those who are scheduled for the month of August.

DixyChixy1966 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi, I am FINALLY getting my lapband on August 19th...I was originally scheduled to have it last September but had to delay it due to some health issues. I am excited but nervous...my girlfriend went down last September without me and has done well considering she got pregnant right after! I was wondering if anyone on here is scheduled for August 19th as well...I am from Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've met here at the forum and soon you'll get to meet them in person. So, lets hear from those who are scheduled for the month of August. I'll be at the OCC August 11th through August 14th. I hope I can meet all of you while I'm there. Maybe have a margarita or two. LOL. If your at the OCC, ask Gloria at the reception desk where I'm at. I have a couple days where I'm scheduled for some dental work and I'll be over at the Cosmed Clinic talking to Dr. Quiroz about his new plastic surgery clinic, which is scheduled to open sometime late this year. I don't know which hotel I'll be staying at as of now,, but I should know by the time I get there and I'll post that. All you newbies and first time fill patients can ask me anything you wish concerning the lapband or my recent Lower Body Lift. I'll do my best to answer your all questions. C ya in TJ.

determination Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I haven't bought my airline ticket yet, but I am hoping to get a fluro August 26th. I have just felt lately that something may be wrong and I want to have it checked out by the professionals at OCC. I have no clue of where to get a fluro around here. Someone on the Forum mentioned Marysville, WA. By the time I spent the money to go up there, I might as well fly to TJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps! And congratulations...it is so exciting isn't it!!! Jenny :-h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbear Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hi, Ther are fill centers all over the U.S. now. Should be one in New York. With flights so cheap right now going to T.J. is a viable option. Dr. Otiz and staff are the best. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
