I should be there and I look forward to seeing everyone again (except for those that will be hunting LOL) and hopefully meet new people as well.
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
I've never been to one of the OH conferences. What topics/speakers would make people want to come vs. not want to come? I'm going for the support and assuming something will be of interest to me. I guess I'm easy- seeing my fellow WLS peeps is enough for me.

I have been to 3 and probably will not go to this one. One of the ones I attended was so geared to pre-op and lap band, neither of which was me, that it was not as good as it could have been.
So to answer the questions, if they had more for those of us who are farther out, I would consider going, but I don't see it happening....
Be Kinder than Necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Laura...Becky is blowing smoke...she'll be there to see her sisters...you can bet on that! You make sure you go so we can meet you in person.

I think i'm with Que on this. If I have the funds and the time and can make it, I will do it JUST to visit. There simply has been nothing there for the oldtimers and that is very disappointing.
laura, I would love to meet you and will do everything I can to do that. But I still hope that OH will get with it and realize they are losing a very important part of the OH community by not hearing our pleas to have more for us.

LAURA-I respectfully disagree with my sisters. I am almost 8 yrs out and have been to countless conferences, While, yes, they are geared toward newbies, and the vendors and docs are there to promote their products/practices (as is the case at any type conference/expo), I always seem to LEARN something, despite myself...or I find a new protein/vitamin/recipe to try. I get re-energized watching the excitement of the newbies.
If anyone wantes to say they don't benefit from these conferences or have a good time..that's okay..I have pictures...of them...laughing...dancing...
Mostly, though, first last and always, I go for the PEEP TIME!!
