2008 National Lap-Band Conference



Recommended Posts

I hope our nametags have our LBT Handles on them! That will be how I know most everyone!!!

Hey, I know we can wear what we like, but what are you guys going to wear. I was planning on casual during the seminars and maybe a flirty dress for the fall fling.

I SO don't want to feel out of place.

Any ideas on what you guys are bringing with you to wear?

I don't have much in the way of cute clothes, I'm planning on wearing my my jeans, a dressy top, and heels.

I don't get to post here too often, and I don't really know anyone, BUT I am SOOOO excited about this weekend. DH is too!

I am SO excited to meet all of you! I will definitely say 'hi' Wendy!! I'm bringing some clothes, but only what will fit in a second bag on the plane...no room for hangers, etc...

I may be a bit overdressed, but I got a cocktail dress for the fall fling. I feel great in it, and I think that's what counts the most, right? Otherwise, I'll keep it cas for the seminars and meet and greet.

Wendy - "Striving to be the person my dogs thinks I am. " Is so true, we have a black lab and an Italian Greyhound. I wouldn't trade them for the world!

Funny thing - I'm supposed to start my 10 day liquid pre-op diet this Friday. I told my surgeon that I was going to the Conference and he told me I could start Sunday instead, it "wouldn't be fair to be on liquids at the Fall Fling!".

I LOVE IGs. One of my friends shows them - they are so sweet and intelligent! My dogs love me no matter what - I wish people were that way!

I'll be there solo too Patricia, can't wait to meet you tomorrow!

Question for the mostly Texas folks here- weather service says temps in Dallas are at high 80's, low 90's this weekend. WOW. Is it a sticky heat or dry heat down there? I'm in Manhattan and we're in our full fall gear- going to have to dig out the summer stuff, just not sure how hot it will really be. Thanks for any southern tips!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
