The 2003 Florida Bandster Bash is rapidly approaching. I can't believe it. For those that are interested, please visit our website. http://www.floridabandsterbash.com The Bash is going to be a great mix of fun and education, and is geared to all stages of banding. If you came last year, you know that it is going to be a great time. The best part is that it is being held at the brand new Hard Rock Hotel here in Tampa. We are looking forward to hearing from great speakers, including Dr. Grossbard and CoffeeWench. Dr. Gary and Dr. Susan will be holding some great sessions that everyone will enjoy! Meet new friends and hook up with old ones. I hope you can join us. If you have any questions, feel free to drop a line at floridabandsters@hotmail.com Take care Donna Valdes

Unfill his own band to pig out??? That is gross and so much for being a positive example for his patients! I couldn't imagine sticking that needle in me and doing my own fill either.... Fills already make me queezy.....

You are right, I meant 2004. I also put together 2003, just hard to believe the next one is right here. Dr. Gary and Dr. Susan are wonderful people. They have helped me and lots of my bandster buddies. They run local support groups here, free of charge. They now work with the surgeons. They are great mental therapists. Anyone that has seen or heard them knows what I'm talking about. And you are right, they are not WLS patients themselves. Only Dr. Grossbard is both a surgeon and patient (or at least the only one I know of). Well, take care all. Donna

The TJ bash is now a beautiful memory for all those who were lucky enough to attend. If you were unable to go, you may be looking at the post bash photos and posts with unbridled envy. Don't burn with frustration! Relief is in sight! Attend the Florida Bash, October 10-12. Come and hear a phenomenal group of speakers discuss such important and relevant topics as the emotional aspects of weight loss, plastic surgery following weight loss, and planning the right nutrition for weight loss surgery patients. If you haven't had the surgery yet, we have two local and talented Lap Band surgeons speaking about their successes with this tool. Bring the support person in your life to attend a special seminar just for them to help them with supporting you in your journey. Enjoy great food, lots of great activities, giveaways, and just plain fun! Since the day after the bash is a holiday, stay over one extra day and top off your mini vacation with a breathtaking sunset dinner cruise off the Gulf coast - an evening you will never forget! It's not too late - register and pay conveniently online! For more information, go to www.floridabandsterbash.com See you there!
