OH Conference in Cincy

I've always wanted to attend an OH conference, but never have.  Are you planning to attend?  If you've attended one before, what did you honestly think?  It would be fun to meet up with others from here.

I will be there!  I went to the one in Chicago last June, and had an absolute blast!  It was the best time ever!  Tons of vendors, free samples, awesome clothing exchange, and the seminars were fantastic.  I highly recommend it!

I second Christie. I also had a blast and can not wait for Cincy. I hope to see you there.

 I've never been to one either  but am thinking I will go to this one.  Trying to get some others from my area to go as well.

I am still planning on going. Bought my ticket a few months back. I'm meeting up with Leigh Ann there. Melting Mama is also planning on attending, so that should be fun :D

I want to go.. BADLY but what am I supposed to do with the kids? bring em??? My mom and I both had WLS, and so did my husband but he has to work double shifts that weekend!! =/

I haven't had my surgery yet, but read about this conference and want to go. Or is this conference more geared toward those who have had the surgery already?

I see a couple topics on the Cincy Conference that is more geared torwards preops! Everyone is welcome, I'm sure there will be QUITE a FEW preops there. My mom and I would LOVE to come except What do I do with a 6 year old and a 15mo old?? My 6 year old can be quiet but my 15mo old insists on saying HI to everyone, and not in her most quiet voice mind you!!

Does anyone have ANY ideas for me??

I went to the one in Chicago.  It was okay.  I found some of the lecture groups to be informative.  I thought the free samples and products were fun.  Got a lot of vendor information there and tried things I had already heard about.  This way I don't have to spend a lot of $ on something I am going to think tastes like ass.  I thought the dance and some of the other stuff was kinda lame.  Just my opnion though. :) I would go again and am going to look at the info for the next conference.

Oh and I think it would be GREAT informaton and INSPIRATION for a pre-op. You can talk to a ton of people that have lived through the experience and before surgery that is what I wanted.  I didn't want my THIN surgeon to tell me what she THOUGHT it was like.  I wanted to talk to people that were living with the choice, ya know?
