WLS Meet-Up with Cyber-friends in Tunica?!
Over the years, ObesityHelp has thrown Conventions (usually on one coast or the other) and many “Dot-comrades” and “Cyber-Friends” have gotten together for a great time.
I’m a member of another Board that is the only “Not-for-profit” WLS Forum out there. Throwing a “Convention” where docs and sponsors push their wares to ‘members’ is not really an option.
BUT- we have thrown a few “Non-Conventions.” And are coming up on another this Spring.
Last summer, Quix had a “Non-Con” in Vegas Where members of Quix, OH, FatBlog and a couple of other Boards came together and had a Blast.
No “Guest Motivational Speaker” or a roster of Surgeons hawking their services or Registration fee, etc… just a bunch of WLS Folk, getting together for the weekend and sharing their experiences.
The OH Lexington Convention a few years back now, was one of the few that wasn’t in Texas or on one of the coasts and gave a lot of “land-locked” folk in the center of the country a chance to travel a shorter distance to meet up. Meet my Hero Francis S. There along with many others!
That idea is what drove a few of us here in the Mid-South, to plan a “Non-Con” in the center of the country
coinciding with Saint Patrick’s day Weekend.
