I vote for the wk of Mar 30 - Apr 6 we can do a wk end or during the wk which I think most of us like the idea of cheaper flights and hotels which is more likely to happen during the wk. I'm thinking me and hubby will go Sun-Sun hmmm not for sure yet.

I'd really love to go but it's too far from Sydney, Australia. I'm actually going to visit a friend in NY but not until the end of August. Put a dollar in for me.

Hey Insub, I'll play $5 for you! haha

OK, I think I've made it very clear that I'm pretty flexible on all of this! My job is very flexible and I have over 3 weeks of vacation time I can take whenever I want as long as I know minimum of 30 days in advance, preferably 60 days in advance.

I'm very open to the whole March/April idea, ad the weather will be perfect! I can't wait to walk the strip without feeling like I'm DYING! Haha!

Also - I don't know what happened to BeckieT ... but if she doesn't re-surface I'll need a roomie! I'm clean and tidy and easy-go-lucky ... very laid back. I only snore a slightest bit, Lol!

I don't care about Spring breakers - don't they usually go to the beach anyway... not the middle of the desert?

I am not sure where everyone is from, but if you are someplace close to where Allegiant Air flies out of, you can find some pretty good prices to Vegas.

I checked for me, and could get flights for about $119. round trip in March and April.

Go to allegiantair.com and see if that will help any of you.

I would love to be going with you guys, but doubt it will work out. My husband and I are going on a 10 day cruise in Jan. and can't really afford it right now. I keep reading all your posts, and who knows, maybe once you make up your minds when for sure, I will see if I am able to go.

March or April sounds great to me. Me and my sister are interested in going and meeting everyone in Vegas. Both of us were banded the same day.

Sorry about not posting of late, all, and especially Suzzzie. I've been swamped at work and working late each night, plus we moved to the country and we don't have internet service at home yet.

I am still game for a trip...late march/early april is fine by me. Just let me know when/where and ideas and I'll put in my requests.

I've thought about this more and more lately....

June is our bandaversary. Why not June? We are the June Bandsters.

Anyway, I have hooked up with someone and am offering to donate funds for the hotel...so that it's either paid for altogether or lessens our out of pocket expenses.

Who ever is going to be in charge of this...please contact me so that I can have a goal in mind and make the arrangements.

Grace - Have you ever been to the middle of the desert in June before? I was there the last week of May this year and it was HOTTTT!! Lol!!

I don't really care either way ya'll... seriously. I'm probably the most flexible person here since I'm singe and have no kids. My job is flexible too... I will only have to arrange for someone to check on my cats, which isn't difficult at all since I have alot of family and friends within a 5-15 mile radius of me.

Hell, I"d go tomorrow if I could pull the funds together that quickly!

Hi, yes, I have. Lived there several years. Of course, being in Utah I'm freezing.

It was just an idea...high school reunions will be in the summer, as it marks such and such year.

Just thought a year mark would be cool... even if some couldn't justify getting away... to mark their banaversary...may may.

But anytime. Let's do it when most are comfortable.

Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in here despite being a September bandster. Just thought I'd point out that there is also a group of bandsters (any month) trying to get together in Vegas in January 2008. I know that's coming up fast but maybe we could all meet up together?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
