I am curious to see who may be interested in a LBT event in Las Vegas. I have had this burning idea for about a year now, and may have the desire to see it through to fruition.

I am thinking Vegas because flights are cheap and everyone just needs an excuse to go there...

Let me know what you think!

Thanks WasaBB... I'll be sure to run my next one by the think tank first.:help::ranger:

I would love to go! Please keep us updated. I never knew about the January trip or I would have planned on that one. I think if you continue to post and more people see it your response would be greater. Thanks

Here is another thing to think about. There are a lot of people who would attended but because of it being in Vegas or at a gamblling place do not wish to go to. I was the meeting chairperson for a group of professional people and we had a night at a casino with tour and we did not have more than 10-12 people show up. The other places we had 50- 60 people at a lunch/or dinner. Just my 2 cents.

Sounds like a great idea to me. But my vacations are already set for this year. I'd really be interested in going to a convention in '09.

Im interested in going to las vegas for a lap band convention. I just need some time for making plans. So count me in if its not to late. Sounds like a great idea!

I may be interested. Details?

Oh wait...there's none *waits*

Um hell yes!? When?

OK - I am getting ready to do a cost analysis in effort to see if this can be accomplished without breaking the bank.

It would be great to do in June. I plan on making a trip to Vegas in June to meet a fellow lapbander that I know on here. Let us know!

Count me in! I'll keep following this thread

I would love to attend but work keeps me tied down for the 1st 15 days of the month. If it all possible please try to plan during the last 2 weeks of whatever month you decide on and I will pretty much guarantee that I will be there.

i would love to go...just tell me where and when

OK... This is getting serious. If everyone wouldn't mind kinda getting the word out to see ballpark how many would be interested in the Las Vegas event, I am looking at hotels and conference rooms.

I'd check with the Vegas docs who do this procedure.

The local doc here said they won't accept move-ins aka new patients banded elsewhere if they were banded in Mexico or Las Vegas.

So evidently there are many docs there who do it.

I'm not worried about a location that will accept patients in vegas... we already have one. I'm just looking for people from all over the country who would like to join us for a fun, educational bandster bash in Sin City!
