Need some info on the fill set-up for TJ?

[dreamhappy07]

Hello all,

I want to go back to TJ for probably my second fill in or around October. I am hoping someone who has had their fill(s) in TJ can help me with some detailed information abut how to go about scheduling it. Is it the same for when you schedule a surgery? Like emailing your flight itinerary to Rene and contacting Lori with the date you want to come? Who and how do you pay for the shuttle from the airport and the hotel and fill?? I really want this trip to be as smooth as the last one before for my surgery. It was great!

Thanks for any and all replies.

Peace,

Judy

Send an email to fills@obesitycontrolcenter.com and let them know you are interested in scheduling a fill and give them your contact information. Someone will call you back and set it up. I didn't take the shuttle when I went down there but to pay for the fill itself I wrote a check before I left.

If you take the shuttle you should have no problems but if you decide to walk across the border be sure to bring American quarters and contact numbers for the OCC. If you get lost the payphones in Mexico take American quarters.

Like Clynn said, contact Rene at OCC and he'll set up the time and date. There are easy ways to get to the border from the airport, taxi, trollies, etc. It's just $5 for the taxi ride to OCC from the border, although it is easiliy a walkable distance. If it were me and I was planning on spending a day or two in San Diego, I would rent a car, drive to the border and park, go get my fill, and then walk back across and play for a few days. I regret I didn't do that last time when I came down for my first fill.

My question isnt about the fills in TJ, but how you arbitarily set your next fill date? October is three months out...if I were you I would play it by ear for now, you may find that it wont be needed until December or it could be next week. I'm by no means an expert with only 5 fills under my belt and still less than a year banded, but I have seen many unhappy people wondering why they arent losing weight or this or that, and many have neglected to get the fills when they NEED them, and not when they can schedule them in... sorry for my two cents worth

Hi Tom,

No problem about your two cents worth. It would really be a lot more than two cents if I would get a really good fill without problems at the right time. I am supposed to have my first fill without flouro on July 21st, but am really hesitant about it, but also REALLY need it because I am able to eat too much and also eating the wrong foods as a result. Not gaining weight, but keeping at level or still losing. It scares me to have a fill without flouro, but the doctor is highly recommended by Dr. Ortiz. I am also struggling to come up with the money for the fill so I would almost rather wait until October to get a good fill in TJ.

Reply anytime with your two cents that is also worth so much more to me.

Thanks,

Judy
