Howdy y'all! The 1st National Obesity Help convention will be May 15 and 16 in Arlington, Texas.

Some of the speakers include: Terry Simpson, M.D., FACS Arizona Bariatric Center "10 Ways To Not Be a Center of Excellence " Elliott R. Goodman, M.D. Beth Israel Medical Center, New York, NY "How to Measure the Success of Bariatric Surgery Beyond Simple Weight Loss" Jeannie Colter, RN, C Executive Director, ObesityHelp "Building Support Groups" Eric Klein, MBA Founder, ObesityHelp "Patient Perception of a Center of Excellence: How Do Patients form Opinions About Bariatric Center Quality" Bo McCoy Outreach Manager, ObesityHelp 7-31-02 (626) Preop now 3-4-04 (297) Postop Loss of 329 lbs. "How to achieve your weightloss goals" There will be a plastic surgeon forum as well. Susan Maria Leach will also be there with her new book, "Before and After, Living and Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery." Susan had wls June 11, 2001, and is now a size 8. In addition to more than 100 recipes in this book, there are ideas to help a post-op cook stay on the path and adapt his or her own recipes. She has also included tips for eating out and cooking during the holidays. There is an introduction to protein, carbohydrates, and sugar for those who are post gastric bypass surgery, as well as a list of sources for special foods and ingredients. And if you are a party animal , we're having a luau on Saturday night. We're trying to convince some of our sexy male members to wear coconut bras and grass skirts (but it might not happen ). Some of our fantastic cooks will be bringing sugar free treats to the luau, so you just have to come and sample them!! Here's the link to the convention. We hope to see everybody there!! http://www.obesityhelp.com/texas2004/?D=031504tx1 Hugs to y'all from Linda (look for me at the meet n greet table)
