Dolittle Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I just can't belive the year is flying by,,, April showers bring May flowers and and new group of soon to be "BANDSTERS". Let's hear it from the wannabe's that are scheduling their surgery dates in May. See if you can hook up with your future banding buds before you get to TJ.. I'll be down in TJ at the clinic on May 14th and 15th,, so I hope to have an idea who's going to be there those days. C ya there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm also on the 22nd. I'm so excited. i got to find this calendar! :cheerleader: You should see a Calendar link at the top right of every forum page. Once you're on the Calendar if you scroll to the bottom you should see a link to add a new event in the lower right corner. From there you can just fill out the form and select the proper date for your surgery or fill or whatever. You should also see little arrows before and after the month and year to browse through the various months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat2nrml Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I had all your worries too when I started my research and found Dr. Ortiz's site! I remember a lady, not too long ago, was wondering if the people on this site were "planted". We reassured we were not plants and all had been banded by Dr. Ortiz! {Well, some are banded by other Doc's and come here for support and advice} When you watch the tape on the OCC web site that tours the patient rooms, lobby and surgical area... that's exactly what it looks like!! I never saw a medical building \ hospital that was SO CLEAN! We have a local hospital that looks like crap in comparision!! Truely! You'll see!! You'll come on the forum after your surgery and you'll post how awesome the center is and how your care was top notch!! I will bet money on it!! My flight was the worse part of my experiance, I got air sick.... Please don't worry, it's a waste of time... focus on YOU and the new life you'll have!! All's good!! Darlene PS I have to get my ticker thing up... I also suck on the computer, I'm lucky that I'm able to log on! :lb12: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it I do remember that discussion about us all being "fake customers" but you soon learned with so many totally satisfied customers Dr. O doesn't need any "plants". lol And now you're one of us!!
