Woo Hoo! OH Convention in Phx...Who's going?

Yeah! Just got the email that OH is having a convention here on Feb. 26th, at the Embassy Suites on Greenway Rd. and I-17. I'm so excited! I haven't been able to attend any of the other conventions and this is a mere 20 min. from my house so I am definately planning on going. Let's show them a good turn out and see how many of us can go. Hope to see you all there! Kim R/az Open RNy 1/26/04 233/139/130

Here's additional information for those that need it: This past year ObesityHelp, Inc., has been traveling throughout the United States meeting our members in person and offering support and educational resources. It has been a successful and amazing year! Guess what? We are headed your way! Our "Making the Journey Together 2005" tour will begin on February 26th, 2005 in the Phoenix, Arizona, area. Motivational speakers, bariatric surgeons, nutrition experts and many more supportive and insightful people will be in attendance. We hope you will be there too! Here is what our members have to say about our past events: "I had such a remarkable time in Arlington. Here's a BIG thanks to everybody that had a hand in planning such a wonderful event. It was fabulous to meet and visit with people who have been & are in your own shoes." "I truly immersed myself in the experience and I came home feeling a renewed sense of faith in myself and in others. Thank you for returning to me the love and the compassion that I hope I brought to each of you." "I must say that I really grew as a person at this convention and my hubby finally got it." "I would like to thank everyone I met. I have never felt so welcome in such a crowd. I felt at home. You all are a great family to have and I am glad to be a part of your family." If all of the praise above is not enough to convince you to join, we are also offering a few special incentives at this event that we hope you will enjoy. If you are pre-op and you join us at this event, you will receive a special gift just for coming! If you are post-op and you bring someone who is considering having weight-loss surgery, you will also receive a special gift! Below are some of the basic details to help you begin to plan.
