  1. 1. Are you interested in attending the 1st annual LBT Las Vegas Bandster Bash?

    • Yes I would be interested! Just tell me when...
    • I may be interested, depends on when.
    • Why would I want to get together with all of you and have a good time?

I would love to go! Please keep us updated. I never knew about the January trip or I would have planned on that one. I think if you continue to post and more people see it your response would be greater. Thanks

Here is another thing to think about. There are a lot of people who would attended but because of it being in Vegas or at a gamblling place do not wish to go to. I was the meeting chairperson for a group of professional people and we had a night at a casino with tour and we did not have more than 10-12 people show up. The other places we had 50- 60 people at a lunch/or dinner. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like a great idea to me. But my vacations are already set for this year. I'd really be interested in going to a convention in '09.

OK - I am getting ready to do a cost analysis in effort to see if this can be accomplished without breaking the bank.

It would be great to do in June. I plan on making a trip to Vegas in June to meet a fellow lapbander that I know on here. Let us know!

I would love to attend but work keeps me tied down for the 1st 15 days of the month. If it all possible please try to plan during the last 2 weeks of whatever month you decide on and I will pretty much guarantee that I will be there.

OK... This is getting serious. If everyone wouldn't mind kinda getting the word out to see ballpark how many would be interested in the Las Vegas event, I am looking at hotels and conference rooms.

I'd check with the Vegas docs who do this procedure.

The local doc here said they won't accept move-ins aka new patients banded elsewhere if they were banded in Mexico or Las Vegas.

So evidently there are many docs there who do it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
