1st Eugene OH mtg. FUN & Informative! PHOTOS NOW ADDED.

I attended and it was really nice to see you all again! Linda did an awesome job of organizing, and advertising and gathering us together.  She will certainly be posting here I am sure! I was honored to have my PCP- doc Gayle attend and she helped us a lot with nutritional questions and many other issues as a DS patient herself. I did take  a few pix and hopefully they will come out ok & I will add them to this post tomorrow. For all you who attended here's Gayle's pre & post op pix . EDIT: for you that attended and heard her talk about the Cookbook and nutritional info from Sally Fallon's book "Nourishing Traditions" ....here is a link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Nourishing-Traditions-Challenges-Polit ically-Dictocrats/dp/0967089735/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&q id=1206037451&sr=1-1  3 new ones from Roseburg, BRAN54, and Caroleeg from our OREGON forum on OH. BECKERS, a new one, and Gayle my Primary Care doc! Linda_S, our fearless leader; BECKERS, and Lowellian

Thanks Pam.  It was great to see all who attended and very helpful to have Gayle there. For anyone who would like to join our local forum, the link is; http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/Eugene_Sprinfield/messagebo ard/ I think this requires that I approve you to join, but I generally check the board a few times a day, so we can get you signed up.  The more the merrier (except of course, for ourselves in pounds!  ).  I look forward to seeing you all in April. Linda

I added my favorite links in the forum and hope you guys all do too! We need all the resources we can get!

I agree, I had a great time at the meeting.  It was so friendly and warm.  Made you feel part of a group.   Looking forward  to the next meeting....................

It was great to see you Bran -- you're looking good!  I had a good time too.  It was nice to have a bit of a reunion and to see some new faces.  I think this is going to be good. Linda
