If you can't get into the session, why don't you meet up for coffee later anyways..that way you can get information , ask questions, while it is still fresh in our minds. Not sure where coffee will be, but keep watching..it will likely be at the usual place, Smittys.? barb C

PS....Lori..And you know what...after the last meeting where only 1/2 of the people showed upthat had signed up to attend..I am sure there willbe at least one person that does not show up. I would just go and show up anyways...if it is full and you are taking up someone's seat, then just stand in the back...Just saying! barb

I was thinking the same thing Barb.  There's got to be a few people who won't show up.  Either way I'm going to try make it to Smitty's afterwards.  (I assume that's where everyone will be going).   This body of mine will probably never see the light of day when it comes to plastics anyway.

I'm thinking that as this program grows they are going to have to find a bigger meeting room to hold these info sessions.  There has to be well over 200 people that have had WLS and hundreds more on the waiting list.  At a couple of previous sessions the tables have been pushed aside to allow more seating, but when they're not, that room probably only holds 30-40 people.
