Scottsdale Bariatric Center Albuquerque Visit Saturday January 22nd ,2005 Dear Scottsdale Bariatric Patient, We are excited to be coming to Albuquerque, New Mexico on Saturday, January 22, 2005 to hold a free weight-loss seminar for the public. The seminar will take place from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. at the Sheraton Old Town Hotel, 800 Rio Grande Blvd NW, in the Potters Room. The purpose of this seminar is to educate potential patients about Bariatric surgery. According to a recent study in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) weight loss surgery improved or eliminated diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and high cholesterol in morbidly obese patients. We will be available to answer questions they may have to help them determine if surgery is the right option for them. We encourage you to tell any friends or family members that are suffering from morbid obesity to take the first step and attend the seminar. Please have them contact Dawn, Patient/Physician Liaison at 1-800-504-9567 to register for the free weight-loss surgery seminar. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you, Dawn Remme, SBC Patient/Physician Liaison

Unfortunatly I didnt get to do any exercise this afternoon. I usually ride the 8.2 miles on the weekends. Dont have the time after work. I have kid duty. Tried Taebo.. not ready for that yet!

I'm so glad you posted this because I have been totally feeling the same way. I can eat a whole taco, funny you should use that because I ate a taco last night then tonight put egg&bean in a tortilla. Then today for lunch I ate about 3/4 or alittle less of a lean cuisine. Mind you it had some chicken chuncks about 10 or so and then spinich but sometimes I don't know if I should be able to eat that much. Anywho. I'm right there with ya, confusted. Jenny
