GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

I soo understand your situation about being strapped for cash. This will be the FIRST OH conference I don't get to attend in a LONG time. I just wanted to clarify a couple of thing for ya to (hopefully) help you decide on whether to attend or not.
ALL the speakers are GREAT! I understand you said you had surgery, BUT you will WANT to know what Jeremy has to say about fitness AFTER wls. If you are in a relationship or casual dating, you will DEF want to hear what Ms. Mary Jo Rapini has to say about our intimacy issues AFTER wls and if we are lucky, we will get a "show and tell" of her fav. products! lol
The Dr.s speaking are experts in their field and I may be 1 yr and 9 mos out, but its always good to hear what they have to say and it "reminds" me how to work my tool, and WHY I did what I did.
Bo, Yvonne and the other "motivational" speakers are just like you and me, but they have an AWESOME way of speaking and showing us how living w/ wls can be in a positive, fun way. Its as if they get in our head and read our thoughts...they've "been there, done that"
We get some really great goody bags and there are drawings and I swear, just about everyone walks away with something.
But I think the MOST important thing you will get coming to a conference is the LIFE LASTING FRIENDSHIPS you will make. You say you just moved here, how awesome to meet people "like you", with things in "common" with you that you can possibly rely on in the future and go on to have long lasting meaningful relationships.
Now, I live 6 hrs away from Houston and about 10-12 from Dallas, but some of my VERY good/great friends are from up there and I met them at my very first OH conference. And well, if you read my profile you will see why I LOVE OH conferences and the peeps who put it all together.
Hope this helped a bit. Would love to hear that you went! Take care.

U tell me that I sin,
U say Im bound for hell,
So once ur judgment condemns U,
I SHALL SEE U THERE. 
I'd rather be an OPEN sinner
than a FALSE saint...
