Sorry, we do not have any classes regarding DS eating. However, other than the two lapband classes, all of the other classes are workshops that are of possible interest to people who have had or are researching any surgery (such as: exercise, healthy choices in eating out and grocery shopping, the importance of vitamins, plastic surgery, etc). If you have interest in other types of workshops, let us know the topic or speaker and we will try to set that up for next year. If you don't find any of these interesting, I hope you might at least enjoy the Gala in the evening. This is a celebration for all!
Thanks for your note and hope to see you at the Gala!
