EnchantedPiano70 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I want to know what are some of the airlines flying form Orlando FL and what are some of the airfares you folks received. Any pointers will help. I want to schedule mine for March but I need to know when it's most inexpensive to fly from Orlando, Florida to San Diego, CA. Anyone from Florida going anytime soon?

I am flying from Tampa on Southwest Airlines for about $220 round trip. That is their "web only" price. It may be worth it to drive to Tampa for that price. Also, I chose not to fly Easter weekend as the cost went up quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisalisa21 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Getting banded March 4th!! YAY!! Excited...nervous...a little worried. The thing I've found the most difficult is trying to explain to people why I'm doing it. They're so quick to respond with "Well why don't you just try to stop eating so much"... Drives me nuts!! Anyway, I'm looking forward to starting my new and improved life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I'm looking forward to starting my new and improved life I arrive March 6th and my surgery is on March 7th. I might see you there. My name is Ruth from Groveland Florida. We should get to know one aother so at least when we are therewe can talk and say hi. I am going with my cousin, who are u going with? And listen to what I am going to tell you very clearly. Do NOT let people discurage you. These are people that probably are dealing with there own demons. If it were as easy as just not eatting we wouldn't be this way. I don't look like this because I sit on my couch eating cheetos all day long. I myself have a hernia on my stomache, and osteo arthritis of the spine and I'm not able to walk long periods of time and or exercise, so screw those who are fast to judge. They don't live your life or walk in your shoes. How sdare they tell you things like that. Loosers!!!! It makes me angry to know that there are people out there that would even talk to an obese person that way. I get it lots and I shut them up fast!!

Hello Michelle!! This is great!!! I will look for you there. I will be with my cousin, the one I spoke about getting the gastric by pass. One question, will you be having a private room or not? I decided not to have a private room and save the $450 dollars. What time will you get there? Anyone else for March 7th? I think those for the 7th should stay in touch and share pre and post surgery experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm driving down from the L.A. area on the 4th and will probably be leaving on the day you arrive...I am also going with my cousin A very supportive cousin, I might add. Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I know my family loves me and want what's best for me but like you mentioned, they don't live or walk in my shoes so at this point I don't expect them to fully understand or accept my decision. I hope we get to say hello in person but just in case I miss you, good luck with everything!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
