: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.....

Julie,

Click on the link for the conference so you can look at the registration form. There is a discount for your spouse.

Saturday is the Conference only special.

I just registered! I am excited... but I am only going on Saturday... can't do the whole weekend :biggrin:

See you there!

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

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.

Hello Sugarbear,

If you look on the page right under the pay now button you will find the registration link.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

sugarbear~ forgot to tell you, my last post was like #11, so scroll all the way down to COACHCHER's at #1 post.

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:

manykids??:omg_smile:

The Conference is not my doing. I just found out today when I logged on to www.lapbandtalk.com There are many sites to look at concerning this. Just scroll around thru this site and you'll find ton's of friends and support. cher@bandedtogether.net can probably offer more info than I. Good Luck

Hi, everyone

I will be attending the conference in Dallas. I can't wait to meet everyone and learn from them. I was just banded last Thursday, so I am still on liquids, but today is the first day I haven't been in very much pain.

See you all in Dallas!

Kathy Affeldt :omg_smile:
