:-h I am looking to coordinate sharing a shuttle ride with others who are going to the OCC in June (I need to get my 1st fill). If you don't mind sharing the info, are you arriving on the 28th or 29th? I had never been to TJ only heard stories about it and not good ones. I was worried too, but it was a breeze! Are you traveling down there by yourself or do you have someone coming with for support? Everyone at the center is sooo Nice! The nurse Carmelita is the sweetest lady you ever meet. She doesn't speak much English but when she smiles, you can just feel the love. Surgery only takes about 15 min according to my husband. The night before the surgery you are going to get to eat what ever you want! My advice to you is pick some thing good..... that is easily digested. It will help with any discomfort you have the days following surgery. I had pizza of all things and WhiteDove had Mexican food we both were constipated and had lots of gas pressure. The discomfort is not bad and you will not be hungery. Drink lots of water and if you feel you need something more, make jello water. There are coffee makers in the rooms @ La Lucerna so you can heat up H20. Walk walk walk..... We walked up and down Revelution Blvd the day after and did San Diego Zoo the day after that! You will do Great!

Tom :-h Have you made any arrangements yet for your fill? I still haven't, was waiting till I could find someone to go with, but no luck as of yet. Looking like I'll have to go it alone. Going to hold off till Tues. 29th to call and schedule fill date. I also would like to be in and out the same day. Thanx for the tip on the Trolley and Taxi's I'll have to look into that.

:-h Hello Everyone, Anyone out there planning a fill trip in June :-? . Will be planning to arrive in San Diego in the morn on a Mon. or Tues. and leaving the same day later that afternoon/evening. Looking for other bandsters that might want to coordinate and share shuttle expense. June 13, is 8 weeks after I was banded, time for 1st fill. June 4th, 5th, 11th, 12th, 18th, or 19th I'm flexable with dates as long as its a Mon or Tues.

:-h Let me know when you are thinking of have your fill done, I was thinking around the 4 or 11 of June? Would you be staying over night or just a quick in and out? :-?

Hi Beery, :-h See you there.

Hey Sue, :-h We are flying in around noon from Vegas. This forum is great for any one concidering this type of surgery reguardless of who they are having it done with. I also was starting to feel very anxious, about the surgery in general. So nice to hear from others that are going through the same thing. See you in TJ next week.

Fly into San Diego Tues 17th, pre-op that day, surgery Wed 18th. We are staying until Sat. See you there!!! >
