Yes, both my sister and I would both like to attend this years conference. We would prefer to pay the extra to stay in NYC but if it means more people could attend in NJ, we would still go.

Thanks

YES!! I want to go. Where and how much? I'd like NJ and want to know if I have to spend the night at the hotel. Can I go, attend the conferences, go home, then come back? Keep me posted. Atlantic City sound fun!!

Thanks for all your hard work putting this together. I live in upstate NY and have been waiting for an event closer to home. This sounds great, look forward to getting the much needed support. NY or NJ ok with me, sounds like it might be more affordable in NJ however.:D

I would love to come to a convention, but NY would be too costly at this time. If there is one somewhere in the midwest, I would really be interested. I live in Missouri, so Kansas City, Columbia, St Louis or even as far as Chicago might be doable for me.

I can't go to this one, but for later in the year how about Chicago, Denver or Vegas?

I would love to attend in NYC. I think the problem with NJ is you can't go anywhere without a car in NJ. In NYC you can walk around or take public transportation. NJ can be really hard to navigate.

looks like most people would be willing to pay a little more and have it in NY, I think I would too. I googled the city in NJ they were talking about and it sure doesn't have much there. And I couldn't even find what airport serves that city.

I would like to go since NYC would only be an hour or so drive. However, I have to know the dates since my lap band will be most likely be performed in March.

Keep me posted.:)

Yes i am interested in attending. Will you be having any speakers for the young at heart?...... My daughter and I both had it done and she is 17. I would love for a group speaker for the teenager-mid 20 year olds. It is hard to find a support group for them. Also, we would love it in NYC. We would only come to the Saturday conference due to work and school. Please keep us inform on cost etc

I think Las Vegas would be a great place for a conference. Affordable, great shows and would be a great spot for the West Cost and Mid West Lap Banders.

      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.
