  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.

        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
