I'm sooooo excited 
. I'm going to go! I've been asked to be a guest speaker! (Thanks OH) That's a big step for me to do! There are so many people I want to meet. I'd really like to meet all of you!! This will really be an exciting time for me and I'll be celebrating my 1 year rebirth with all of you!!
Who's coming??
Amy 
interesting, but perhaps im missing something, it will be full of vendors offering products or services for me to buy, why would i want to buy admission? let the vendors buy the table space and hope that the audience mobs the gallery for the exhibits. the lectures, and show piece items are the draw for the attendees, the sellers bear the cost of exhibits. and dinners ectra would be ala cart.
perhaps im just a cheapie.
Walter,
The vendors are just a small protion of the event. We bring them in so you can see and taste some of the items that have been made just for the bariatric community.
There are speakers, classes, surgeons, social time, and support at these events. There will be many different classes for you to choose betwee, so you can find something that will benefit you.
