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!

Well now you know me! Here is a current picture! Please come say hi and introduce yourself. I can't wait to meet you! (The picture is of my 4 year old boyfriend giving me a birthday kiss - shh, don't tell my hubby)

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.

dressy top, slacks and patent birkies LOL.:cursing: As dressy as I get.

I am wearing black crop pants, dressy shirt and boots.

I am so excited you guys are getting pumped up for the conference. Because of "Ya'll" it's going to be amazing!!

I'm doing casual with exception to Sat. night. I haven't had a dress on in years....so I'm doing a dress & heels for my hubby:smile:

Dress up, Dress down, just don't be late :cursing:)

We are going to dance our booties off, hey that will be a bonus "RIGHT"!! LOL

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!

Hello,

My name is Patricia Vance and I will be coming to the conference on Saturday. I will be flying in from Navarre, FL I only know one person on the forum so I am looking forward to meeting new lapband friends. I will also be coming solo.

We can't wait to meet you Patricia, it's going to be a blast!!

Lots of us are coming solo so you will fit right in.

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!

It will be humid hot for you - for us Native Texans - it will be crisp! Although - most everything is inside so you wouldn't have to wear shorts - but expect a lot of flip-flops, sandals, tank tops, shorts, etc.
