Topic: PRE-REGISTRATION FOR THE ONE AND ONLY 2008 RUBY CRUISES CRUISE TO LOSE IS NOW OPEN!!

Let us hear from you!  Go to www.rubycruises.com, and in the upper right hand corner, you may pre-register (at no cost) for next year’s cruise!  It will be once again on Mariner of the Seas, sailing on a week long adventure to the Western Caribbean (Labadee, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel) from Port Canaveral, near Orlando .

 

 

To date, we have nearly 200 OH’ers registered for this cruise!  WOW!  You’ll see lots of familiar faces, and some new ones too!  We currently have bariatric surgeons, a plastic surgeon, a bariatric coordinator, a nutritionist, and a fitness instructor joining in for next year’s activities.  BUT…..this is also your cruise VACATION, and a chance to meet, mingle and CELEBRATE with your fellow WLS’ers!! 

 

 

ALL are welcome – pre-op’s, post-op’s, of ALL TYPES of WLS, family members and friends, so fill out your pre-registration form today!

 

 

Watch the board for more information and updates coming SOON!!

 

 

Check out my profile for pictures of MARINER OF THE SEAS from a cruise I did with my family in 12/04, and from just two weeks ago when I did an inspection tour for this year's CRUISE TO LOSE!  Make sure you check out the pictures of the Royal Promenade, ROCK CLIMBING WALL(!!!!), 18-Hole Mini Golf Course, ICE SKATING RINK (again, !!!!!!) among other points of interest!  The Royal Promenade has café’s and bistro’s, and Promenade Cabins overlooking the “main street” – these areas are actually “Inside cabins” retrofitted with a picture window overlooking the promenade!  NO OTHER CRUISE LINE offers such a great, inexpensive alternative to what would otherwise be an “Inside”!!  Each day there are various activities here, including parades, parties (70’s and 80’s parties, Mardi Gras, etc.), and while at sea, the shops along the mall are open for business!

 

 

Go to www.rubycruises.com to PRE-REGISTER – upper right hand corner.  If you have any questions, you may PM me here, email me at [email protected], or call me TOLL FREE at 866-685-RUBY (7829).

Topic: RE: Surgery on Thursday!!

I live in Tijeras, NM, and have been researching Lap-Band for my husband and I.  We attended a seminar with a group in Arizona, but it was very expensive, and pretty far away.  I noticed that you just had the surgery with Dr. Frezza in Lubbock, and having just located his office, was thinking about this route instead.  I would love to hear about your experience there.  How long did it take to get your first appointment. What was the process like from your first appointment to surgery. How is the doctor...his staff...the hospital?  Did insurance pay?  We have BCBS of NM.   If you were a self-payor, what was the cost?  Will you go there for fills?  Would you recommend Dr. Frezza and Lap-Band to others?  How are you doing physically? How has the weight loss been?  Any help would be appreciated!  Thanks!

Hello Sara, I had my surgery a year ago last month. To date I have lost 160 lbs and I feel great. I had the gastric bypass surgery (RNY to be exact). The only part I am not happy with is all the loose skin. With time, I would like to get post-bariatric plastic surgery. I wish you luck in whichever decision you make. *Olga*

Hello Cindy ,  Think I may have responed to your question about time frame but anyway I went to seminar in October and had my surgery in dec. over my Christmas break.i have BC/Bs and they are good and very fast Good Luck with it I am still trying to get together a group for Las Cruces that can meet and just talk about issues  or achievements and to support each other.. Not sure if we will have guest speakers but we can look into it once we get something in place. I know it is taking a while but I was gone this summer. Anyway I am thinking scheduling a meeting once a month like in the middle of the month so not to over ride what Del Sol in doing because i will attend those meetings as well.. I need to know from anyone who might be interested or if you know of people that might be interested , I am looking for anyone, people who have had surgery, are awaiting a surgery date and people thinking about it.( Gracie can you contact Cyndie) please send me your name and email and phone number if you want. I also need to find a time that works for everyone so if you will please email me with a time that will work for you. I was thinking like a weekday ( evening) say 6-8pm or a Sat. Morning for two hours like 9-11 AM. So please let me know because I will need a time in place before I can go find a place to meet. thanks and hope to have this in place soon, thank for your patience, Kelly
