:thumbup:I am sooooo EXCITED!!!:cool2::lol:

Just completed my reservations, and I can't wait!!

It has taken me almost a whole year to lose just 40 lbs. But I am so thankful for the loss. Without the band I would have kept that 40 and already added another 20 to it!

This convention is just the motivation I need. It's going to be so informative!:biggrin:

What day is the "conference only" @ $45.00?

My spouse will never need the LB, but he was coming along with me for the 3 days. Does the $150.00 cover both of us or is going to cost me $300.00?

I feel that bubble shrinking.....

I have clicked on the conference link (I think) but I don't see a registration form, ect. Just trying to find out more about it. $100 a night, $150 for the conference, I guess a couple of meals included? I guess the forn would be more detailed but can't find it. Looks like about a $500 weekend :biggrin:. Gas, food, lodging. conference fee. I would appreciate any other details. Sounds interesting but have to register by Fri.

Thanks

Sugarbear,

scroll all the way down to COACHCHER's info, click on LAPBAND CONFERENCE,which opens to Pink Page with CoachCher's picture, scroll down to "click here to download registration form". I opened it up, filled it out then hit print and it's ready to mail.

COACHCHER said my husband could wear his wranglers & boots, he wouldn't have to eat from a saucer! He'd get plenty to eat, everything is casual, some might dress up. I'm paying the $150. fee and the $45. guest fee and the guest(my spouse) can attend everything with me. I had to get a room that weekend anyway for his Dr. appt, we'll get plenty to eat and what I spend on the conference itsef ; l think is just the shot in the arm I need.

I live in California and banded 8 months ago. I just found out about the convention and I really want to come however, I may not be able to get airfare in time. I just found out today, so how can I make sure anything like this that comes up out of town I am notified of? I just signed up for your newsletter and will today subscribe to the magazine offered also. I have never heard of you but realize that you are just what I need to keep momentum up. Do you have these conventions only once a year or other meetings like this periodically through the year? Please advise.

I would love to come to this conference but because it is so late in finding out may not be able to swing the airfare by then. So glad to know about that there are things like this, because banding really is a life changing experience of continued education and encouragement along this journey traveled.

From Sunny Southern California!:biggrin:

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
