trulytangledgrl Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Well, I just made my final payment for surgery thru paypal online. I am sitting here thinking to myself 'i hope this isn't a scam'. I mean I know its not, its just that ... $7200 is a LOT LOT LOT of money to be sending via internet and my gosh... I would be so upset if I just threw so much money away. I am getting more and more excited - everything is paid for (airline ticket and now surgery), so all I have left to do is get started on preop to try and lose some weight. Dr. Miranda said I didn't HAVE to do preop since my BMI is 32, but she said it wouldn't hurt to lose a little bit. So, thats what I will do! I AM SO EXCITED!
calicat Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 My husband was worried about the SAME THING! Don't worry - I'm not paid by OCC - I was a patient. It's all good, you're taking the second step in the process (first step was calling, scheduling and filling ou the paperwork)! The best is yet to come!
Mackenzie Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 i felt the SAME WAY! i was like well..i mean i know its not..i hope its not! haha when you see them pick you up at the airport you will be relieved...but its really not a scam!!! The OCC IS AMAZING!
trulytangledgrl Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 LOL! I am glad that I am not the only one thinking this way! I mean, I guess its only natural when such a large amount of money is at stake. I cannot wait until the 28th of this month - I will be packing my stuff and I will probably be awake ALL NIGHT like a little kid at christmas! hahaha! My flight leaves at like 6:25 am on the 29th, so I will have to get up at like 4:00 am cause the airport is a good 45 minutes away and I like to be early. So I will want to be there by no later than like 5:30 am. I don't like to be rushed. I guess that early in the morning the airport won't be TOO busy! LOL!
Blazn Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Everything is legit so you can ease you weary mind. I know you feel great just having it paid for - I did once I just got my cashiers check. Good luck and keep us posted.
trulytangledgrl Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 Its great to have everyone here to assure me otherwise I might be losing my mind! lol! I will definitely keep you all posted - LOOK, ONLY 25 DAYS LEFT! =D>

I kept thinking... this really isn't going to happen. I kept that feeling right until they put in my IV (4 times - small veins)... then I thought... ok... maybe it will happen. When I woke up after surgery I thought, 'Did it REALLY happen'. I had to touch my stomach to be sure. About the money... it is A LOT of money to spend. The way I look at it though is, between all the 'lose weight'' schemes I've tried over the years, I'm sure I spent WAY more than $7,900. You know... Weight Watchers, Weight Loss Clinic, Hypnotherapy, Herbal Magic, etc, etc, etc... Good luck with everything... (but you won't need it. It's a piece of cake and the whole day will fly by)., Denise

With Dr. Miranda, did she call you or did you call her?
sphynxmomma Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 I need to get my butt in gear and make my final payment too!
BeBe Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 Once I had everything scheduled, I just wanted to go to sleep and wake up after I was banded. I was so anxious, it was all I could think about. Now I know what my kids feel like when I tell them we're going to Disneyland. LOL! I hadn't been on this forum before being banded (I browsed a little at lapbandtalk.com, but some of those horror stories scared me and I stopped), so I too was a little worried about getting conned. But then, I figured if he weren't legit, he wouldn't be on Oprah. Yes, I admit - I put my faith in Oprah Winfrey. Silly, eh? LOL!
sphynxmomma Posted May 6, 2008 Report Posted May 6, 2008 Can you tell me how you did this please? Did you do it via pay pal...See the reason I ask is because I'm a retard lol and when I was trying to send my deposit I actually sent money via echeck and it took about 2 weekfs for them to get it. Did you pay via credit card? Did you go to the "send money option" I think this is where I went wrong....I do have my bank account and 1 credit card attached to pay pal but it decided to take it out of my account for some reson HELP>>>I"M NOT ALL THAT SMART WHEN IT COMES TO PAY PAL!
