Hello fellow lapbanders!!

I have created a blog where I will be updating all the Conference information. I have also secured a hotel for us, it is listed on the blog.

I want to "Thank" everyone for your suggestions and ideas. Trust me I am taking them to heart and will do everything I can to accommodate as many of you as I can.

Cher....I've tried clicking "Pay Now" on the link and it takes me to PayPal and nothing shows up. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Becky

Hi Becky,

When you click on the pay now button, it takes you to the front page of Paypal. Over on the left it says "Don't have a paypal account" you can click the continue button and it will take you to the page to enter your information.

Let me know if that helps.

Worked like a charm! I'm an now officially registered for the conference and I can't wait! I've told everyone that I'm going to be one of the success stories and I've had offers that they'd love to buy me a new killer outfit to wear on Sunday. I might just take them up on it, too. I'm really looking forward to this. Cher, if there's anything I can do to help you out, please let me know. I'm already getting excited and it's still a while until October. My goal is to get to my goal weight by then so this is just added incentive to make it happen.

That is goal to make this an annual event. I am also hoping to turn this into a Regional event as well. So hopefully I'll be hosting one closer to you next year.

Cher.....How are plans going for the conference? I'm very excited about it and can hardly wait until October. I would love to volunteer for a makeover. I could use all the help I could get! I received some very exciting news today....I've been choosen to participate in Southwestern Medical Plastic Surgery Residency program. I'm waiting to set up my new patient appointment and see what they can do for me. I'm actually on Cloud 9 about it! I will keep everyone posted on how it goes. Not sure if I'll have any surgery by October but I know now that it's in my future! Another update...another 4 pounds and I'll have lost 300 pounds. I weigh every Tuesday at our health clinic and I'm hoping that this Tuesday you all will hear me whooping it up!

        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
