Dolittle Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 The new year is off to a good start. January is behind us now and February is here. There's been a lot of excitement around the OCC with Cassie being on the Oprah show (scheduled for airing on Monday Feb 4th) and with spring coming, everyone is thinking of their health. As you can see here at the forum, patients are talking about their up coming surgeries in February. But,, where's the March patients??? Lets see if we can bring March in like a lion and go out like a lion. So,, come on March patients,,, where you at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LHenry35 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Count me in!!! I am scheduled for surgery on March 10th. I am flying in on March 9th to prepare my nerves for the surgery. I had a lapband before but I had a slip so this will be a revision for me. Dr. Ortiz removed my band which is why I feel confident in his ablility to do my revision. I am very nervous and excited because I have been unbanded for about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mona-camille Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 well I am desperately trying to set up a date for March, but the center isn't calling me back for some reason. I need a date before I can get plane tickets. Does anyone know if they do this on saturdays? I'll post my date as soon as I have one. I'll be flying from PA.

I think Lori took a couple days off for some much needed R & R.. Lori and Carolyn have been really swamped. A lot of people have been inquiring about the Lap-band. They'll get back to you. Have you've noticed the Forum has been really busy too! Which is GOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
