mona-camille Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 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!! It's funny, I feel ashamed about that now. How wrong I was!!!! The whole experience was as close to perfect as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgrldj Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'm trying to get scheduled for May.. I am only about 2 hours north of the CA-Mx border.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebsmom Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hello Portland Ladies. Please keep in touch with me! Im Vancouver Wa and getting banded on the 29th of April. SO EXCITED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom12 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 It looks like there is quite a group of us between the 6th and 9th of may. I have my surgery on the 8th but I am sure we will all see each other coming and going! I read some of the already banded gals saying to be sure and take dresses as pant are too uncomfortable after surgery. I don't have any comfortable dresses so I went to good will today and found some great one. I figured I will only wear them a couple of times before I grow out of them so didn't want to spend much on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jena Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Three weeks from today Mom12!! Woo Hoo! =D> Jena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 I can't believe it's so soon! I just read up about the comfortable clothes, so I'm guessing jeans probably wouldn't be the most comfortable. I think I'll go to Target or Lane Bryant and buy one final cotton sweat suit to be comfy on the flight back. Can't wait to see you ladies there! My mom and I fly in late morning on the 8th. You see my picture and she'll be the impossibly tiny woman next to me. (5'2" and 107 lbs! How did that happen!? Am I adopted! LoL) Alana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tootsie_lou Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Why ashamed? Good research is NEVER wrong. Paula-- I completely agree! Checking something out thoroughly in this age of ingenious scams can only be considered something very smart to do. Good girl, Ramona!

Dolittle Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 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. It would be cool if all of you bandsters that are coming to the OCC in May, June, etc, for either your band surgery or fills, could use the forum's "CALENDAR" feature and post the day your going to be at the OCC. This way you can see who's going to be there on the same day as you. You could start up a friendship before you get there using the forum's "MESSAGE" feature and have all your fun time already planned out before you get there. Plus you can contact other patients, like if you need to share a ride from the airport and stuff like that. I hope to see some of you on May 14th,, we could all meet down at the bar or lobby at the Lucerna. C ya on the 14th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
