We are still working to confirm several speakers, and so I am not able to post much yet, but we should have everything lined up by August. For now, here are some of the topics we expect to include:
* Plastic Surgery - We have a surgeon lined up for at least one session, maybe two, and will post name(s) after we talk to him/them about whether it will be one session or two
* Pregancy After WLS - Panel discussion with several WLS patients who have became pregnant after surgery and weight loss.
* Back on Track
* Nutrition / Vitamins
* Cross-Addictions
......and much more!
If you have any topic suggestions, or know of someone who might be interested in speaking, let me know! We love leads!
Thanks for your question...keep 'em coming!
