I too had a wonderful experience there.  I live 6 hours away, so they group everything together, and my day just flies - I go non-stop from the time I arrive so they can get me out of there in 1 day.  I meet with Bariatrics, Liver doc, Dermatology, and Hematology...all in one day - usually out by 2 or 3 pm, starting at 7am with bloodwork!


I cannot speak highly enough.  I was SUPER risky (50+% chance of dying during surgery) before they started to work on me....after they were done, my risk was down to around 25% - yet they still chose to operate!  They saved my life!  And gave me a new me!

I have heard some compaints from "locals" because they are pushed back to get out of towners like me in and done.....

I also had to call repeatedly for updates for insurance...but the squeaky wheel gets the grease, right?  I think they were SOOOO sick of hearing me call daily, they pushed it through in a priority! LOL

Hi! I tried to get weight loss surgery 3 years ago at the clinic and was totally denied with Caresource. Now, St.Vin in Cleveland tell me they accept Caresource and things have changed, they are getting approvels now. Before, I get all exicited again- has anyone dealt with them recentely? Thanks so much!!

While I love the idea of an exchange, I would hate to lose 3 speakers.

Just to remind everyone, the OH Fashion Show is open to anyone who wants to participate. After having surgery and working so hard to stay on track, you deserve to show off a bit! 

We ask that you send in high resolution “before" photos and a very short bio of yourself to the Fashion Show Coordinator: 
Terri Black @[email protected]

I will send them on to the department who is putting them all together to be shown on a large screen while you strut your stuff on the catwalk to music furnished by the DJ! This starts at 8 pm on Saturday evening and we ask that you provide the outfit that you would like to be photographed in!

To keep with our schedule, you may be asked to join the other models by 7:45 that evening to coordinate the lineup.  Upon submitting this photo to me, you are giving ObesityHelp your permission to use your likeness on OH's website or in the OH magazine.

Time is running out so get those photos and bios in...we'd love to have you participate!

See you there,

Hello Friends, 

We have had several requests for a clothing exchange in Cincinnati during the event.  In order to do this, I would have to give up a breakout room and use that for an exchange room.  Before I do this, would you post and let me see a show of hands so I can see if this is something you really want?  It would mean having three less speakers; we would still have 4 on main stage and 6 in breakouts.  Let me hear you! We want you to have the best experience ever!

Sincerely,
Kim
