Tadpole Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have had the best experience here people. Don't worry about a thing. I am 5 hours out and I have NO pain and NO gas. Wow do I feel great. Dr. Ortiz is ....well....what can I say.....HOT!!!!!!!!! Dang is he something else. So much fun too. I already have my IV out and was told that I could go back to the hotel if I wanted to. I am still thinking about it. David and I are each other's support here and I believe he wants to stay. David is a newbie to the board. So there were 8 of us getting banded and I was the last one it.. I about went crazy!!!!! I am so excited to see how I am going to look when I am done with my weight loss. The Lucerna is wonderful. They take very good care of you there too. I even got a complimentary fruit basket. Dr Miranda didn't want me to shop yesterday because I would be tired and not up to full strength for the surgery. However, tomorrow is another day. A few of us are heading to Revloution Ave. Gotta get gifts for the girls. They were quit upset that they didn't come this time. I said maybe when I come for a fill. Hugs Trudy Thank God for all of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElaineC Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I am glad you are doing well. As for shopping..remember to bargain..if you offer 1/3 to 1/2 of what they want you can often get it for that. I bought my daughter (age 5) a beautiful mexican doll. Pay attention to quality..the lady we bought her from had much better quality than other shops. HAVE FUN!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
