What do you think we should call ourselves? We need a cute group name!!! Something sparkley...something inspiring...something WONDERFUL!!!!!

OMG, you are coming to the West Coast!!!! Woohoo! Is OCC in Mexico?? And....we are going to be only one day apart! That is so exciting!

Yes, I'm going to the West coast from the East coast. :frown: And yes, I'm going to go to the OCC which is in Mexico. I'm also supposed to be traveling the following week to LA to see my sister. So it will be another East coast to West coast trip the very next weekend. That worries me a little bit. I just don't know what to expect.

So yes, one day from yours! Are you getting ready? What are you doing to prepare? Love your glitter tag!

I don't know the time yet - I go in for my pre op on thursday, 19 Feb. I will have to spend the night in Tucson on the 15 of Mar - we live about 2 hours away. I am hoping for an early time - just so I don't miss my coffee so much! I hope I am one of those people who do well after surgery - I am a teacher and I having surgery the first day of my spring break - so I will have a whole week to get use to the band and get back on my feet.

Why is you surgery so late in the day?

I don't know why my surgery is so late in the day. It would be nice to get it over with early in the day.

I'm sure the hospital will charge me for a whole day instead of a half day... don't you think?

I'll be melting in March too! I'm thrilled to be finally approved by BC/BS of Florida. It was a looong process, but will be worth every minute of it. Surgery date is March 9th.

I'm hoping for a March date with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. I would love to be a Melter or Morpher.

March 13 for me, Friday the 13th if I'm not mistaken. Almost exactly one year from seminar to surgery.

Ditto for me! How coincidental. I think we also have a group discussion going on in the groups section.

I am in, I am in!!!! WOO HOO!
