Okay so you all know that I have generally not been feeling well but I just got invited again to talk about my WLS experience at Dr Pupkova's seminar tomorrow night!! This is my third invite but getting a little concerned since I have to wear this stupid holter monitor starting tomorrow until Thursday but this has nothing to do with the surgery so I hope that they will hook me up in a way that I don't scare those people who are thinking about WLS. What do you guys think should I even mention that this is just a precaution that my primary is taking (and that I do not for one moment regret my decision to have this surgery) or should I just act normal and not say anything unless somebody asks me??

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!

Congrats! You truly are an inspiration, so it's easy to see why she would ask you!

i would not mention the monitor unless someone specifically asks.  I believe they're pretty unobtrusive, based on the one my mom had a couple of years ago (basically a belt pack).

Don't mention it....chances are no one will notice it...and if they do...you can answer that question as it arises.
Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.

Wow!! That is awesome that you have been invited to speak!!! What an inspiration you are!!!

As for the monitor--I wouldn't mentionit and if it comes up just answer the questions honestly and concisely. 

Tell us how it went!!!
