Vegas would be AWESOME because it's the cheapest place to go as far as accomodations and travel!!! Let's do it!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta say, never been to Vegas myself, and it IS pretty cheap for the most part.

Wondering if this is a "Gathering" for 2007 or 2008? I love the idea of Vegas as it's probally the most affordable place for those of us on a budget.

I voted Vegas just because I love it :)

But it is a good place for gatherings because most major airports/airlines have flights there, which makes prices competitive, and you can usually find a good "mix" of different priced hotel rooms in a relatively small area.

With all this talk, would you like a some help planning this?

If so, let me know, I'll make some calls and help organize.

I vote for Chicago, because it is home

Southern CA because I have never been.

Las Vegas because it is least expensive.

I vote for Vegas, easy airfare and hotels for all plus it's cheaper.

I don't have little ones at home, so what's better.....going during school or when it's out? Mom's?

Another thought would be to do our get together the same time the American Bariatric Surgeons do their annual confrence in June. It might be easier to get sponsers then. IF its somewhere warm I suggest it takes place in the winter. I'm form Minnesota- I need a winter break!

That's a great idea. I have heard of other gatherings where they have a lot of bariatric speakers, giving nutrtion talks, etc.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
