I had my first fill on Dec 6- flew down to San Diego, met by Fransisco and went right to the clinic. I was in the fill room within 20 minutes of arriving at the clinic and saw Dr. Acosta. He was great and did the fill effortlessly. I brought a friend and we walked back to the Hotel Lucerna where we spent the night. I think next time I may just fly down for the day- I have such confidence in the OCC- I don't want someone messing up my band. I've heard horror stories from people who went to doctors who are not too experienced. No thanks. I hope this first fill last awhile but I do plan to return to OCC for the next one, whenever I need that. You're in good hands here! [Just got back from a fill trip to the OCC. My wife had her first fill (1.8cc's) and she did good, I had a tweaking fill, we added .5cc's to my 1.8cc's for a total of 2.3cc's. .......
