February Fill Patients


Recommended Posts

Hi y'all.

I will be ready for my first fill in February and I want to try the trolley way :-) . I think I will stay overnight since it's a long trip from the east coast. Any suggestions on where to stay? Is the hotel where I will be recovering a good choice or would it be better to come back across the border and stay in SD? I want something as hassle-free as possible. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Susan!

I had my first fill this past Saturday (the 9th). I also decided to stay the night since it would just be too much to go down and come right back. I did the bus/trolley thing... One warning though... If you have any issues with walking or standing a long time... Just pay the 130 for OCC to escort you to and from the airport (you can split that rate if you find other people who arrive and leave at about the same time as you). THe hardest part was the two hour line coming back into the states...

I stayed at the Lucerna (the Hotel where you will be recovering) and the rate is only 80 US dollars if you ask OCC to arrange it for you when you make your appointment for your fill.

When were you thinking of going? I may be due for a fill in late February.... I will see how well this fill works and decide closer to the time...

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for the advice. I will probably stay at the Lucerna aftwer the fill. I was thinking about the 3rd or 4th week of Feb. I'd love to coordinate with you if possible. I am using up frequent flyer miles so I am somewhat limited with the dates. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Lynn,

I will be getting my first fill on February 19th. My plane arrives at 11:30 AM. I hope we can get together if this day would work for you be some chance.

Susan :-h

Hi Susan!

I will be needing another fill by then for sure - what time is your fill? I will know for sure if I can go on the 19th by early January and will let you know! The flight I take usually comes in at 10:05 a.m. in terminal 2 so I could wait for you. What airline do you fly in on?

Lynn :)

I may be needing a fill by then also - would love to coordinate with ya all----I will schedule my fill then play it by ear of to if I actually need it or not - the trolley was fine going across but I got a ride from a fellow bandster and her father that was getting a fill the same day - I still have restriction and am losing weight so if that has platued by the time that date gets here I will already be on the bandwagon

Anybody that has a fill scheduled for 2/19 please double check cause I e-mailed Rene after I read this post earlier to make a appoinment and he said that the day is open and wasn't aware of any other fills - I would love to coordinate with you all if you don't mind and I can do the trolley or if you want to pitch in and make the OCC chaufer us around that would be fine also -

I made my plane reservations for the 19th but forgot to call Rene to schedule the fill. Sheeesh what a dufus! Anyway, I don't have my itinerary here at the office but I think my plane comes in around 10:30 or so. I'd love to get together with y'all and I'm open to taking the trolley or if there are enough of us, going by OCC van. Let's keep each other posted.

Susan

to be banded January 8th, 2007 :-h

Oh yeah, I forgot, I decided to return that night by way of the red-eye so my plane will leave about 10:30 PM. I'm a glutton for punishment. I'll have lots of time to kill till then so if anyone is staying overnight or has a late afternoon flight maybe we could hang out.
