2008 National Lap-Band Conference



Recommended Posts

The last time I spoke to Melting Mama she said she will be there, I'll find out for sure.

I hope she is!!! I know she and "Eggface" were doing LA and Philly but I haven't seen either of them mention Houston and it's not listed in the info on OH either. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

Hey Paige,

I spoke to Melting Mama last night and she will be in Houston, so be sure to go say "Hi" and give her a hug for me.

Melting Mama is on our show the last Wednesday of every month so be sure to tune in to hear her product review segment.

Could you post the information regarding the dates and location for Houston pleae. I did a search but couldnt find it. I did find a bariactric cruise for next spring, anyone from the forum going on the cruise?

I would love to go on the cruise, but just don't see how it would be financially feasible for me from South Carolina. That would make for one expensive vacation!

Have you heard about the Lighten Up expo in Atlanta in January?

My husband says I am going to Atlanta no matter what. That is the week before my birthday, so I am hoping he will go with me and we can make a bit of a celebration of it. It is only about a 4.5 hour drive to the airport area for me and with the special deal on the room, you really can't beat it.

K, I know I am arriving really late in the game here, but I didnt really look into the conference much since I knew it would be in TX and I live in NY and I just couldnt have taken time off from work recently. Anyways, I saw in the last few pages of postings that there may be one upcoming in NY! How can I find out more about this???? I am super excited!

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
