Isnt it exciting ? I have to say I feel an inner peace with myself that I haven't felt in so long! {since my decision to have this surgery} Best of luck to you -- and we will keep in touch! I haven't made a decision about my fill yet - I was tentatively looking at May 24-25, which would put me 6 weeks out from surgery. I thought I'd verify that with the experts at the OCC first - but if it doesnt matter, I'll look into June 4th! Take good care -- Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2bthin Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Lisa, I'm flexible too. I read 6-8 weeks after surgery for the fill, so that's after 5/30 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly C Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi Everyone! I'm new here. My surgery will be done April 26th. I hope to meet others on this journey. I've sent my deposit, faxed my info, and have my flight booked. I work with a lady that was there I think this past Oct. and has lost close to 45lbs. She was going to go with me, but can't find a cheap flight. So I'll be going solo! Kelly C. To be banded 4/26/07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o2bthin Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi Kelly. I'm sorry you'll be going solo. My husband will be my support person for the surgery.....I'll be going solo the first part of June for my fill. Which pre-surg diet did you choose?

LisaVA Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi, Rhonda ! Ive been so obsessive about this, that I thought I'd wait until I got there for the surgery to ask about the first fill - If left alone, I'd book airfare and hotel today! So I'm trying to wait and see what they recommend. We'll keep in touch so we can coordinate! There's a large Washington state contingent on the boards - they are even scheduling an outing ! Have you found them yet ? I'm in the "other" Washington! Take care -- CANT WAIT !!! Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaVA Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Congrats, Kelly! I'm at the beginning of April, so we'll pass each other - but I'm very excited about this! I'm going solo to the surgery - I have decided to keep this to myself. I find the older I get the less I want to confess everything! Best of luck to you!

I had 2 people who wanted to go but, one couldn't get the time off, and the other one has been there before and knows the ropes, she can't find a cheap flight. She just came back from getting her 1st. fill! So money is tight for her. My husband would be there but, we have 2 little chihuahuas that we can't leave with anyone well know one that would watch them the way we do. Kelly C.

oktwigs Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Rhonda, I'm also in NW Washington and am ready to schedule for April myself. Hopefully I haven't waited too long so the week I am able to go (spring vacation) isn't filled in already. Janice Ok-Town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandflea Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Wow, all three of you at once! Is your surgery on the 13th as well or are you having surgery the 14th? My best friend is going with me but just as support. My husband is staying at home with our girls. Have you booked your flights yet? I'm still looking for a great airline deal, so far the cheapest is Alaska air. I'll keep watching though. Good luck with everything! Sandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm flying in Wednesday morning (my flight arrives at approx 11 am) and then I'll be doing all my pre-op testing that afternoon. If you are able to move up your surgery date, I would sure love to the company! (I've sent you a PM as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
