Chicago - OH event - less than 3 weeks

So is anyone else getting as excited as I am about the upcoming OH event in Chicago?    Every now and then I check the schedule to see if anything new is posted.

I'm nine months out now... and WLS doesn't consume my thoughts like it did 10 months ago or 7 months ago -   but it is still so important  to remember past struggles and to keep my toolbox full of suggestions and inspiration as I try to cement my healthier lifestyle into firm habits.

Let me know if you are going to be there - and what you are looking forward to the most!

Hey Jody!

I am officially 15 weeks post surgery (tomorrow) and feeling like I've never had the surgery.  I am with you on the not thinking about it as much as I did pre and in the two months post op.  I am sure as time goes on, it will be less and less in the forefront of my mind.

I am planning to go to the OH event in Chicago and am really looking forward to hearing the speakers and getting some new recipes (hopefully) from the chef and I think most of all, I am looking forward to meeting some of the people who post on here.  I know that Jenn is going too but haven't heard from her in forever so I'll have to figure out a way to connect with her so we can discuss travel plans, etc.  What's your plan for the event and what are you looking forward to the most?  I think the whole event should be a good time.

Like Jody said, who's going and what are you looking forward to the most?  Is anyone doing the clothing exchange?

Hi Everyone!

I am looking forward to the Chicago Event because it will give me an opportunity to speak to people who have already gone through the surgery.  To hear everyone's experiences, and just to help prepare myself for what is about to happen in the fall.  Still a few months away from actually meeting the surgeon.  I'm still in the process of a 6 month doctor supervised diet visits.  Month 4 this month.  I think this will be a great opportunity for learning, meeting new people and making friends!
