Anyone going to the meeting in Edmond

I was just wondering if anyone was going to the meeting on Tuesday, July 13 in Edmond? I am driving from Wichita and was just curious if anyone from this board would be attending. : )

I was scheduled to go but I did not have a ride so I will be going on the 27th. Are you going to have surgery through Dr. Floyd as well? It would be nice to know someone else is sharing this journey. shirley

Uhmmm, Dr. Pearce is who I am wanting to do my surgery. The other question I have is for people that have been to one of those meetings. Am I suppose to have my paperwork from my doctor when I go? What exactly are these meetings? I'm sorta getting cold feet and I'm afraid I won't have what they want. I live 2 hours away, so I just can't run down the road and get what I forget.

are you talking about the seminar meetings or support meetings? for the seminar you should have been mailed a packet of information to fill out and things you would need....at least I did.....

The seminar is to tell you about the surgery. It is very informative and also gives you a chance to ask the doctors questions. I did not receive my packet before hand. I received it at the seminar and filled it out while I was there. Don't worry about not having everything, you can mail it to them or take it when you go for your consult. Leanne

oops sorry I didn't look at the original date. Hope you went to the meeting and everything turned out the way you wanted it to. Leanne

I went to Dr. Pearce's meeting in meeting in May. Because Dr. Pearce was on vacation, it was run by Dr. Floyd. He was very capable, compassionate and profession. I got my packet at the meeting. Most of my information I mailed to them. If you get the packet beforehand, you can certainly start on getting them the information. BTY, Dr. Pearce is going to do my surgery with Dr. Floyd assisting.

Deb, I'm planning on going the 27th as well. I'll be driving from the Tulsa area. Does anybody know if it will help if I start gathering the records myself??? The main doctor I've seen over the past 11 years has only been my OB. She will have myweights recorded, but I haven't done a "medically supervised diet" except for taking diet pills through a doctor years (about 20) ago. How much can I do in order to help speed up the process? Thanks, Teresa p.s. Maybe I'll see you there. I'm calling monday to RSVP.
