oh conference

I signed up for the conference but dont know anyone that is going.  Will there be a group of you there that I might connect with once it starts?  I had sureger Lap RNY on AUg 27, 2008 and have lost 110lbs.  I am now consulting with Plastics to have a lower body lift and implants. 

There will be lots of us there!!!!!

I will be going.  I'll come up from Houston.  I don't know many people either, rather new to posting on the Texas message board.  When it gets closer to time for the conference we can try to make arrangements to connect.  There are a lot of folks going I am sure.

I will be there.    I have volunteered to be a greeter.....work with the clothing exchange and whatever and where ever else they will need me.   You will see me there for sure !!!  I can't wait !!!!    Congratulations on your WL and good luck with your plastics !!!!

There's a meet and greet friday night.  We'll all be wearing name tags.  There'll be tons of posts closer to time too about where people are gonna meet and hang out...stay tuned.

Here's my best advice-get an avatar pic ASAP. There have been people at past conferences who got their feelings hurt because nobody "recognized" them...and they had NO pics,or they had avatar pics of cars, horses, dogs, etc...and had weird screen names...but hd their real name on a name tag..and somehow we were SUPPOSED to recognized them....but we didn't so we were "stuck up snobs in a clique"...sigh...

Now..moving forward...post a pic...post on the "WLS Express" every day--it's the quickest way to get to know folks--it's like walking into "Cheers" and just hanging out...it's how most of us "met"

Welcome to our FAMILY!!

I'll be there!  I've been asked to collect surveys after guest speakers so you should be able to pick me out. 

After having attended several of these things, I've learned some tricks.  I strongly recommend that everyone make themselves a name tag with their avatar picture and their screen name along with their real name.  On the back side put your before picture and note your stats.  You can get a clear plastic sleeve at an office supply store that comes on a lanyard.  It really makes it easier to connect people and tell/hear stories.

I'll be there.  I made my reservations before I even had my surgery.  I knew I was not going to miss it for anything.  I want to meet all the wonderful people that have answered my many questions and prayed when I needed prayer. 

Way to go on your weight loss.

Thanks for all the advice and responses!  I am working on getting a profile pic I am having trouble as it is too large a file.  Once I figure it out I will post. 

If you need help with it just ask.  There are lots of people here who can help (unfortunately, I am not one of them - I just sent a PM to Yvonne and she takes care of me.  LOL).
