LAP-BANDERS! WHERE WERE YOU????

I was so disappointed to see that only about 4 of the 200 (?) people who attended the seminar were lap-band patients! I really had no one to network with about 'our' issues....I still met several great RNY folks who took pity on me and made me feel welcome anyway. I felt it was important to show up and support Obesity Help as they do so much free for us, the least we can do is show our support and attend. ...so no excuses next time! I also called and chastised my doctors office for not sending at least one representative to show support! Special thanks to Pat McLachlan, who was my legs (after mine wore out) to go to the vendor room and bring me info. Bless you! Thank you OH for the info and the goodies - Per Jeremy the V.P. of Granola- the lapband area of this site is the most popular, so how come no one showed up?????

Hello Shelley, I really enjoyed meeting you, I really had loads of Fun. I want you to know that I really think that you are a WONDERFUL person, and again someday soon I will see you again. Hug's Jeannie

Jeannie; thanks for the kind words and it was nice meeting you as well. Hopefully, I'll have more LBS gone by the time we meet again! Shelley

Have you checked out the Lap Band forum? You might check that out if you haven't. I know there are other Lap Banders on the FL board, but they tend to be on the Lap Band board specifically. http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/lapband/a,messageboard/board_id,5359/ Amy

THIS ISN'T THE LAP-BAND FORUM???? LET ME TAKE MY ARGUEMENT THERE! lolol

Amy: Okay...I went over and reposted the same info where you sent me but I'm confused as to how to make my "ticker" stay!!!! Can you go look and tell me what I've done wrong? I updated my profile with my ticker, and it shows on some and not on others. should I copy the url or the actual ticker? If I copy the url, where do I paste it??? I keep getting the little box with the red "x" also how do I know which editor to use the text, html 1, or html2?????????????? Shelley

I posted on this Yahoo Lap Band Group but they have their own agendas and an upcoming conference in the Fall in Clearwater. But a bit pricey too. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/floridabandsters/

Hey Shelly, Were you the lap bander sitting in the front row, during the 1st 2 speakers?? If so... I talked to you while waiting in line for lunch. I sadly had to leave early, during lunch for a family issue, so I missed all after lunch :0(
