We believe this year's Band2gether National Lap Band Conference is going to be
an unforgettable event. The educators and presenters we have lined up are all
working hard to bring the very best in education and motivation for our
attendees!
Unfortunately, since we began planning the conference, the economy has taken a
turn for the worse and many people are struggling financially. Because of this,
many have expressed disappointment in their inability to attend the conference.
So, we have decided to offer the conference for FREE!
To accomplish this we will no longer be offering three catered meals and free
B2G t-shirts as part of the registration. Instead, we will be hosting a
Saturday afternoon B2G Luncheon, which will be catered at the conference center.
Tickets to the luncheon will be $22, and can be purchased our conference website
at http://band2gether.net/09g2g/orders
We are fortunate to have acquired a few contracts with vendors who will be
presenting their gastric band and/or health related products and services. This
income will help offset the costs of the event. Band2gether, Inc. will be
covering approximately $2,000. As the founders and owners of Band2gether, Inc.,
my husband, Paul, and I are very dedicated to making this event a success.
Therefore, we will be covering approximately $4,000 of the conference expenses
from our own personal money. We hope that the event is a blessing for all who
attend.
The conference is free and open to anyone, so we strongly encourage spouses,
relatives, and friends who are part of a bandster's support system, or are
simply interested in the lap band to attend. We will ask that each person
attending register for the event so that we can prepare name tags and handouts
for everyone. Registration instructions can be found at:
http://band2gether.net/09g2g/register
We do have a maximum seating capacity, so please pass this information along to
everyone and encourage them to register soon to assure a seat!
All the best,
Susan Morris
Founder and CEO

Hello! I hope your surgery went well. I am in Great Falls. I had surgery on June 2nd, and I am doing great. Let me know if you have any questions, or just want to chat sometime. Good Luck to you!
I'm just letting everyone in the NW region know about the upcoming Band2gether Get2gether (B2G G2G), B2G's 2nd Annual National Lap Band Conference which will be in Boise, Idaho, October 9-11, at the Boise Centre on the Grove. Our keynote speaker this year is LuLu Roman from the hit TV comedy series, Hee Haw!. LuLu has lost over 200 pounds with her band and has an incredible story to share about her journey to victory over life-long obesity.

side note: I used to live in Billings, my mom lived in Bozeman. I miss Big Sky Country!!
I believe the WLS Clinic in Billings just started preforming LapBand surgeries earlier this year so there may not be to many on OH that have had it there yet. Might contact the clinic itself and see if they can hook you up with some people who have had it to talk to.
Best wishes to you on your journey!
