Hi Everyone!

Hi Everyone! I'm Lauren! I live in Rhode Island, but plan on attending the Minneapolis OH Conference in August. (I've got a girl friend that lives in North St. Paul. I'm hoping to meet some new people before I head there, that maybe we could meet at the conference too!! A little bout me, I'm 26, I was banded in October of 2007, and currently down 80+ pounds!! I'm the registrar for a local youth hockey league, I love to meet new people (Obviously), and I love to learn! Like I said, I'm hoping to meet some more people and perhaps some conference buddies!! Hope you are a welcoming bunch and hope to hear back!!

Hi Lauren! I'm Laura. I had RNY Oct. 2nd 2007. I am down 126 # and am hoping to go to the conference if I don't work that weekend. Nice to meet you and welcome.

Congrats on your success so far!! And thank you for the welcome!!

Welcom Lauren! I hope to get to meet you at the conference. It should be fun!!! Lori

Hi. I am 35 and My review  is tommarow. So... I just wanted to say welcome to Minnesota!

Thanks everyone!! I really liked Minnesota when I came out to visit a few years ago. I would love to meet you all in person at the conference!! I've got no one to go with from rhode island, so if I could tag along with a few that would be great! Did anyone go to one last year?

Welcome Lauren, I too will be going to the conference, I can't wait. This will be my first one as I just had surgery 1-3-08, I'm down 71 pounds total. Once they post what the hotel is, then maybe a bunch of us could meet up.  Kelly

Lauren. We'll be glad to have you join us at the Convention. I personally have not been to an OH convention yet and am really excited for this to be coming to Minneapolis! Be sure to post here closer to the date so that we can plan to have a special coffee meet & greet before the convention or something!
