CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION!
August 16, 2008, I attended the 2008 Support Group Leadership Conference at the Cleveland Center for Bariatric Surgery (St. Vincent Charity Hospital).
It was a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet with other group leaders from around the Cleveland, Ashtabula area. The agenda began with Karen Shulz, MSN Executive Direct of CCBS welcoming everyone. Peter Valencic, RD Dietician presented a dietary review. The media lately has been discussing alccohol use after weight loss surgery which was covered by Courtney Holbrook, PHD, Director Psychology CCBS.
After a lovely lunch and group discussion, Anita Maximim, Ph.D.M discussed effective leadership Skills and style. (It is my hope thaat I have practiced effective leadership).
I was presented with a Certificate of Completion from the Cleveland Center for Bariatric Surgery for outstanding dedication and lasting contribution to WLS patients and completion of the 2008 Support Group Leadership Conference.
I now have been certified by both OH and CCBS as a group leader! And of course, without ALL OF MY GROUP MEMBERS, there would be no group! The opportunity to help others along their WLS journey is so rewarding!

Aloha Terri.......You have done an amazing job with your WLS journey, and your group members are lucky to have you for a leader. I'm so glad you got recognition for doing a good job.
We all are blessed to have OH and the OFF to turn to for everything related to WLS and to get a sisterhood/brotherhood as the cherry on top of the delicious chocolate sundae! (Ah, yes.....still using food as my comparison to something wonderful....Ha)]
Aloha nui loa,
