Re: Vegas in May! Are you coming?
I hope all of you there are having a wonderful time. For me, it was definitely a good thing I canceled my trip. My little border collie, Maggie, came down with a serious disease, IMHA, and we almost lost her. This is an auto-immune disease where her body attacks and kills her red blood cells. She spent five nights in the animal hospital in ICU this week, had two blood transfusions, multiple tests, and is now on three different drug therapies. We just brought her home Friday night (which is the night I originally planned to fly to Vegas), and now we are hoping to get her well, but she has a long road ahead. It's been a hell of a week. There is no way I could have flown out of town this weekend; my priorities now are getting her to eat and take her meds. However, on the plus side, I did make it to my support group meeting Tuesday night before I went to the hospital to visit Maggie, and one of the speakers was our own JerseyJohn! So we have finally met and shared a hug. Maybe the next get-together could be planned for Atlantic City, and you will all see more of our Jersey and Pennsylvania successful sleevers there...I'm just saying. In the meantime, enjoy yourselves; and I'll be looking for the photos to be posted!

Here are the hotel details for booking etc.

I have arranged for a plastic surgeon, Dr Bello, who specializes in after weight loss plastic surgery and a nutritionist, Dr Campos, both from Mexicali MX, to be there to provide
free consultations.
In addition, I have a few companies that plan to provide us with bariatric goodies, like protein shakes etc.
I cannot make any further arrangements until I have further confirmation on who is actually coming.
Some people have responded in previous posts but if I can ask again here if you can confirm your booking and how many of you are planning to come.
This trip is open to anybody on this board, sleeved or not yet sleeved. Please respond here if you plan to be there and how many people in your party.
I'm looking forward to an overwhelming response here :). Only 6 weeks away!
Thanks
Michelle
