    RYD IN BIG D!    RYD IN BIG D!

   Let's all chant ..      


   I wonder if Dr. Nick Nickerson, Dr. Alexander, and/or Dr. Wade Barker would be interested in sponsoring an event here?   They all advertise extensively on T.V. here now ..  


    (Debra?  Yvonne?   Ramon?     )

get with the rdy crew I bet if you  can lined up enough sponsers to make it resonable they woudl do the next one up here

but I know they tryed up here and the sponsers were avalible there not here

OK PAUL LISTEN IT WAS WORTH THE TRAVEL AND TIME AND EXSPENSE TO GO OTHER PLACES BESIDES DALLAS, SORRY THIS ALL IN CAPS BUT YOU NEED TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN SURROUNDING AREAS THAT TRAVELED HERE FOR THE OH CONFERENCE SO GO THE EXTRA MILE NEXT TIME IT WAS WELL WORTH THE TRIP


ROBIN

why are you looking to debra, yvonne and ramon for this? why not get off your own rear end and offer to help? an evet of that magnitude doesnt just 'happen'. It takes a LOT of work, effort, blood, sweat and tears. It takes MONTHS and MONTHS of planning, and preparing for this to just 'happen".   After the last RYD event, Yvonne was ill for several weeks, Debra has been SERIOUSLY ill leading up to this one and needs to take time for herself to recoup, and regroup now.    There have been several events in dallas, which i have traveled to, and im not opposed to traveling to events there in the future. Why cant YOU travel once in a while?

thanks liz and you know how bad off i am right now and how hard it was for me to be there this weekend..i am so grateful to yvonne and ramon and sean for being there for me.... for doing the majority of the work along with miranda....

yes this is alot of work...its tiring and stressful....along with our full time jobs....

please do not attack paul...i know he pm'd me and told me he was coming not sure what happened....

as you all have seen there is an OH conference in Dallas in Sept.... lets make it a great one.... i know RYD will be there .... cant wait to see you guys again....

Me too !!!!  I can't get anything done at work today  - arrrghhhh....



And Paul - as for sponsors it makes more sense for a plastic surgon to sponsor an event like this instead of a gastric surgeon.  There were only a handful of people there who were pre-ops and I am willing to bet most had already selected a surgeon, so the return on their investment would be pretty poor.  But you never know - maybe one would be interested. 

I don't care where the next one is - I was willing to travel to Dallas for this one and I would travel to Austin or San Antonio if that is where it ended up being.

Since last year was Dallas, and this year was Galveston, it is reasonable to look into Austin or San Antonio for next year.  Last weekend was so rewarding, I don't have a problem traveling a little to go to the next one.  This was the best conference I've attended.  I am already counting down the days until next year's. 

Hello Amy,
I do not mind traveling either. I can tell you that RYD has to take into consideration as to were the physicians are able to attend. They are a big part of this function, so we have to go were the doctors go. Makes it fun to take a little vacation.
Hugs Robin

Hey guys -

Lets take a step back a realize one thing.  It takes many months, mucho $$ and lots of time.  It takes sooo much time that for three people (RYD) to do an event like this.  It is a very tiring process upfront, but the payoff at the end is well worth it.

It is unkn when and where the next one is going to be.  But I can tell you, it will be worth the trip ANYWHERE.

So in closing, start putting $5 a week up into an RYD slush fund so WHEN it is announced, ya got some bank to be able to travel and attend......

C Ya next time
