  1. 1. Will you be staying in the hotel for the Conference?



Recommended Posts

I am meeting with 2 Hotels tomorrow and Friday.

The information I have provided to them so far is about 250 people plan to attend and we will need between 100-150 rooms.

Depending on which hotel gives us the best deal, that is who I am going with.

I need to know how many people plan on staying at the hotel, especially if your local. Once I sign the contract I will be locked into the room count and will be responsible for rooms not used.

Please use the poll I have included so I can get an idea of how many people will be staying at the hotel.

The room rates that have been discussed with each hotel is $99.00 a night. This includes singles, doubles and quads.

Dates Oct 3-5 2008

Friday Meet and Greet- Cash Bar, appetizers and Clothing Exchange

Saturday- Conference- Guest Speakers, Chef, PT and Nutritonist- working lunch then break out sessions

Saturday- Fall Fling- dancing and cash bar

Sunday- Closing with Successful Bandster stories

Good luck with the 2 hotels!!! I answered that no I won't be staying in the hotel just because I don't know where it is and how close that is from my house. I do have to stuff like feed my dog and things which is usually my task on the weekends so I would have to know what hotel it is and where before I make a decision on if I will be in the hotel or not. I figure it's best to answer no and maybe stay than to answer yes and then not stay. Keep me posted!

My two cents are that if you are soliciting only from this site good luck getting 20 people to attend.

I tried to get a group together for Las Vegas this past January and NO ONE showed up. Mind you it wasn't a conference, it was just a LBT let's all meet kind of thing.

I will be staying in a hotel. But having two threads is a might bit confusing...

Thanks for the heads-up on the two threads.

I have actually created a blog, where I will be putting all the updates and hotel information.

Once I get the info on the hotel I will be posting it on the blog.

      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.
