Tristessa Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Hey hey! I'm another newbie, heading down to be banded in November (the 5th) at OCC and going out of my mind counting down (literally, I've got countdown calendars everywhere .. ) the days til I'm on that plane! I'm 28 and from Canada. Honestly, not only am I excited for that, but I'm spending a couple of days in San Diego prior to go see the zoo and Sea World which I've been dying to do since I was a kid. I was planning on keeping it on the downlow and just surprise everyone with my weight loss, but I have a big mouth.. hehe But I just wanted to drop a hello since I'm the shy type, even on the internet, and I'm working on overcoming that too. So hi everyone! :girl_hide: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Welcome and you're so smart to have so much homework done before you go. If you're keeping your band a secret, then you're brilliant to have a community to come to long before you're banded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunshinegirl Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Greetings from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I too spent 2 days in Sand Diego. The trolley tour was great and we got to stop at difference drop off points and do some sight seeing and shopping. I was on this site for about 1 month and by the time I went it felt like I had already been there. Lots of info here, its great. The staff at the clinic are fantastic and Dr. Ortiz is sooooo good looking. I felt great after surgery and the next day we hit Revolution Ave for some serious shopping. keep reading and we are here for all your questions.

karenlynn79 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi! The SD zoo is SO amazing. Seaworld kind of dissapointed me though. Are you going to the Wild Life Park as well? It's run by the SD zoo too, but it's about a 30 min drive from the city. It's really great too, huge, more like a wild animal park in Africa than a zoo. Anyway, have fun both there and at the OCC. You are in excellent hands! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are in excellent hands! Karen I really want to check out the Wild Life park too. I was looking at the website for the park and it looks so awesome. It's tempting to scrap Sea World (since I've heard from quite a few people that it's not worth the ridiculous admission prices) and just go check out that instead. Or Lego Land (my inner child/geek is dying to see that too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
