LBT in Vegas FEB '08



Recommended Posts

"Interested in a gathering" established that Vegas is the destination of choice for LBT to meet.

So it's going to happen in Feb next year.

I'm thinking the first weekend of the month.

Chimboree are you still on board for helping coordinate this? Lori Ann? Others?

We can work as a group to set the details and get this ball ROLLING!

I'm started to recruit volunteers to organize this event. Send me an email at juligirl01@sbcglobal.net

Mark your calendars for February 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

If you have a favorite place to stay in Vegas and want to suggest it, please tell us on this thread.

If there is a "MUST DO" activity you think would fit the group, add that as well.

Thanks everyone!

I'm definitely interested!!!

Based on location and price, I can recommend Bally's, Flamingo or Harrah's. If you want more upscale then Paris or Mirage. If you're not worried about location and more interested in value, then I'd suggest Luxor or Golden Nugget. The Luxor or Bally's is probably a good choice based on all factors considered. If folks will be bringing their kids along, I'd suggest New York New York.

I do know from previous calls that the Harrah's chain (which includes Ballys, Paris and Caesar's Palace & others ?) requires 21 rooms for a block. Otherwise you get the usual prices as found online.

Consider me there! :whoo: I can also help with arrangements if and when you need me. My recommendation on where to stay would be Bally's. It's reasonably priced and centrally located. Although, since we probably won't be doing much sleeping or spending time in the room, we could go even cheaper, and then I'd suggest The Gold Coast.

Hey Planner People

Thanks for the emails!

I'll create a group after a few days so we'll all be talking to each other.

I'm looking for us to all get into a chat room next week Monday night to wrap our hands around this.

I can do anywhere from 7-10 pm EST. Tell me what works for you. I could do later on Tuesday too.

Thanks,

Juli

I have your email on my list! I'll be sending out a group email on Sunday. I'm waiting until then to see how many more volunteers pop up. Though we have 6 already! Which is amazing.

I expect we'll be a group of 30-50 people, including spouces...easily we can get a block of rooms.

Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
