  1. I felt like that 2 weeks before my fill and I was eating to much! I got my first fill on July 4! I did gain about 4lbs. I had to remind myself how bad i want to loose weight, and how much my little old band cost me! You can do it! Call the OCC and talk to Dr.Acosta maybe he will let you get a fill sooner!
  2. I went back to work yesterday (1 week post op) and I just sitting for long periods of time and bending over I was in alot of discomfort! I didnt even carry or lift! So take it easy. I had to do alot of walking to ease the pain.
  3. I had My Band on the 21st! I went home that night! I mean home to Santa Barbara! I feel great! Post op day 1-5 was a drag I had the Mental hunger BIG TIME! but i lost 10lbs already! I wish I would have connected with other Banders but my Hunny had to get back to work. I felt I would be ok and I was! How are you doing?
  4. Hey Lea! My Husband and I were picked up at the Border Parking at 830pm with our 5 year old. We got in the OCC Van and he drove directly to the Marriott. I took maybe 15 minutes. No traffic, no stops. It was a breeze. I know I was worried with all that Violence around the Border stuff but believe me i didnt feel "unsafe" or scared at any time.
  5. I was Banded there on Thursday everything went perfect! Good luck Tomorrow!
  6. Hi There! I drove up from Santa Barbara on Wednesday Night and was picked up at the Border Parking at 8:30pm. Yes we crossed at night time! I was with My Husband (who speaks Spanish) and 5 year old. The driver from the OCC was on time and drove us to the Marriott about 15 miles past the Border. My Husband and I went out to eat at a Taco stand after we checked in, and took a Taxi to Mcdonalds so my 5 year old could eat. Then took a Taxi back to the Marriott (its about 10pm now) and settled in for the night. The next morning (Thursday) I met with other patients in the Lobby at 7am. The Marriott shuttle drove us all to the OCC. By Noon I was on the operating table. I awoke about 2ish. Had a Popcicle a little water and was anxious to meet with my Husband and child at the Hotel. The Shuttle took us back to the Marriott around 5pm. I felt great! Amazing! When I met up with my Family we took a Taxi to Revolucion Ave. I was feeling so great I told my Husband lets Check out and head home. The OCC needs 4 hours to arrange for the driver so we took a Taxi to the Border and walked across. The taxi was $6! I got back to Santa Barbara at 11pm. I have been to Baja several times, I know TJ has a really bad Reputation its a poor area with alot of crime. But I never felt unsafe this trip at all. Everyone at the OCC is professional and organized. I can't say enough positive things about my experience! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Good luck to all!
