I vote for the wk of Mar 30 - Apr 6 we can do a wk end or during the wk which I think most of us like the idea of cheaper flights and hotels which is more likely to happen during the wk. I'm thinking me and hubby will go Sun-Sun hmmm not for sure yet.

I'd really love to go but it's too far from Sydney, Australia. I'm actually going to visit a friend in NY but not until the end of August. Put a dollar in for me.

Hey Insub, I'll play $5 for you! haha

OK, I think I've made it very clear that I'm pretty flexible on all of this! My job is very flexible and I have over 3 weeks of vacation time I can take whenever I want as long as I know minimum of 30 days in advance, preferably 60 days in advance.

I'm very open to the whole March/April idea, ad the weather will be perfect! I can't wait to walk the strip without feeling like I'm DYING! Haha!

Also - I don't know what happened to BeckieT ... but if she doesn't re-surface I'll need a roomie! I'm clean and tidy and easy-go-lucky ... very laid back. I only snore a slightest bit, Lol!

I don't care about Spring breakers - don't they usually go to the beach anyway... not the middle of the desert?

I am not sure where everyone is from, but if you are someplace close to where Allegiant Air flies out of, you can find some pretty good prices to Vegas.

I checked for me, and could get flights for about $119. round trip in March and April.

Go to allegiantair.com and see if that will help any of you.

I would love to be going with you guys, but doubt it will work out. My husband and I are going on a 10 day cruise in Jan. and can't really afford it right now. I keep reading all your posts, and who knows, maybe once you make up your minds when for sure, I will see if I am able to go.

March or April sounds great to me. Me and my sister are interested in going and meeting everyone in Vegas. Both of us were banded the same day.

Sorry about not posting of late, all, and especially Suzzzie. I've been swamped at work and working late each night, plus we moved to the country and we don't have internet service at home yet.

I am still game for a trip...late march/early april is fine by me. Just let me know when/where and ideas and I'll put in my requests.

I've thought about this more and more lately....

June is our bandaversary. Why not June? We are the June Bandsters.

Anyway, I have hooked up with someone and am offering to donate funds for the hotel...so that it's either paid for altogether or lessens our out of pocket expenses.

Who ever is going to be in charge of this...please contact me so that I can have a goal in mind and make the arrangements.

Grace - Have you ever been to the middle of the desert in June before? I was there the last week of May this year and it was HOTTTT!! Lol!!

I don't really care either way ya'll... seriously. I'm probably the most flexible person here since I'm singe and have no kids. My job is flexible too... I will only have to arrange for someone to check on my cats, which isn't difficult at all since I have alot of family and friends within a 5-15 mile radius of me.

Hell, I"d go tomorrow if I could pull the funds together that quickly!

Hi, yes, I have. Lived there several years. Of course, being in Utah I'm freezing.

It was just an idea...high school reunions will be in the summer, as it marks such and such year.

Just thought a year mark would be cool... even if some couldn't justify getting away... to mark their banaversary...may may.

But anytime. Let's do it when most are comfortable.

Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here despite being a September bandster. Just thought I'd point out that there is also a group of bandsters (any month) trying to get together in Vegas in January 2008. I know that's coming up fast but maybe we could all meet up together?

      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.
