Cher Can you let us know when we can start making our reservations at the hotel. Tried tonight but the clerk did not know anything about it. Thanks so much.

I put down that I would go but if it is in Livingston NJ. I would have to say maybe. It is too far from NYC and Public transportation. I already had a accident on the turnpike and I prefer not to drive. I understand that booking a conference in March may be hard. Most hotels near or in the city are already booked.

I am very interested in going to the conference. I live in Maryland and travel to NYC several times a year as my daughter lives there. If fact, I plan trips for my friends to go to NYC a couple times a year but our group is usually under 10 people each time. As for hotels in NJ there are a lot of hotels in the Secaucus - Meadowlands area. There is also a bus that will take one into NYC stops in front of the hotels area of Secaucus. I have stayed at the Hampton Inn and the Extended Stay hotels in that area. Only problem this area books up fast. There is also a hotel in NYC - Park Central that runs about $200-250 a night. It is close to Carnegie Hall. Hope this helps. BarbaraC :thumbup:

I too have been up and down 10-15 pounds the last 6 months. Wish I could meet with you guys this weekend but I will be out of town. My husband will have surgery on Tuesday so I will have to be close to home for a while. Let me know he next time you get together. :whoo: Barbara

Hey gang, I would love to come if I am in town. We will be out from 8-10 to 8-22. Leona and I are going to Atlanta. She is going to try to audition for American Idol! So keep her in your prayers. BTW I have not lost too much since I saw you guys last but Leona should be under 200 in a few days. I am very proud of her. Anyway, hope to see you soon. Barbara :clap2::clap2:

I had my surgery last June and I am down 60#. Could be more if I stuck to all the rules. I do eat a lot less and am happy with my loss. I did try to get an appt Dr. Schweitzer at Hopkins but he is so busy. I waited 2 months for my appt and the week of my appt they called and cancelled. So I went to a seminar with Dr. Singh at St. Agnes Hospital. He is a funny man that will tell you the truth. I have no regets. It really does not matter which of the 3 does your surgery. They are all good. Just do it.

I do not know about those doctors but I have also have Aetna HMO Open choice. Mine is with the Federal Gov't. My doctor, Dr. Singh takes Aetna HMO. So I think you may have more choices.

I am still around too. Just wanted to say hello to everyone.:girl_hug: Connie: So glad that you are well. I wanted you to know that I do use Mary Kay but I hope you have a great party. :clap2: Kathy: My daugher and I were both banded at St Agnes by Dr Singh. We both were very sore for a couple of weeks. It will get better.

:help: Teresita, your test link is not working for me.

Congratulations on your new band. As far as your hunger, everyone is different. Most people do get it back and need a fill or 2 or 3. I have had 3 and am 2.5 in a 4 cc band and hope this restriction lasts.

I can meet on Feburary 18. An idea's for a place? :biggrin1:

:rose: Hello, I am home, just got home from work. Well, when I stated this I did! Got distracted by the hubby. So when are we meeting again?
