Weight loss conference to be held in Dallas Texas May 2-4

Good Afternoon OH’ers..

I am not sure if many of you all know but I am involved with two friends, Yvonne and Debra from the Texas Message board, we have started a website called www.rydobesity.com

We are hosting a weight loss conference, in Dallas, on May 2-4.. Would like to extend an invitation to all of you.. Although this is not an official OH event we have been pre approved by them to post on here.. All the information is included in this post and posted on www.rydobesity.com..

Dr. John LoMonaco, http://www.drlomonaco.com/, who is our premier sponsor and featured speaker was my mine and Debra’s Plastic surgeon. You may know Dr. LoMonaco from The Learning Channel hit television show Big Medicine.. I was featured on the show as Dr. LoMonaco’s patient and this will be a great opportunity to be exposed to a nationally known plastic surgeon and his patients. As you are aware obesity is a national trend that endangers everyone. It is also the cause of numerous co-morbidities that are often fatal. For so many members of Obesity Help, weight loss surgery has been a life saving tool and the life that it has afforded Yvonne, Debra and myself is something that could have never been imagined. We want to share their experience as well as methods of how they live a successful weight loss journey.

RYD stands for Ramon, Yvonne and Debra. We want to RYD Obesity! We met here at OH on the TMB (Texas Message Board). We really want to make this conference for everyone and the one thing that everyone needs is information to make this journey a successful one. To me, that's the most important part. If you are fortunate to have the miracle of this surgery, you must invest in your future by nurturing your gift and tool. I would love to have as many pre-ops as possible so you can start to experience the love and support available as well as some people that are further down the road.... share their experience. Please take a moment to read Gina's post in the link about what to expect. She shared some great news about her experience last September. So here's a rehash.

There is one correction and that is that the rooms are showing up as $89 on Travelocity whereas the registration form states $99 rest assured that you will receive the lower of the two prices.. We, by all means are not trying to make any money off this conference.. We are all three here to support as many people as we can.. We are firm believers in Paying it forward.. I know I would not be where I am today had some one not paid forward to me..

Thanks for sharing this information with us! I would love to attend, but I'll be freshly post-op at that time. Maybe I can make the next conference. I'll be looking over the website frequently!
