What is the RYD conference?

what does RYD stand for?

hi vickie....ryd stands for Ramon Yvonne and Debra and we say ryd (rid like to get rid of) obesity.....

we have a website www.rydobesity.com you can check that out....

its the three of us joined together because of weight loss surgery..... yvonne is 7 years out and ramon will be 5 years out and i am 11 years from first surgery and will be 5 years from my revision.....

its something that the three of us started and will continue to do.... we have gone to most of the OH confernece and Ramon and Yvonne share their stories..... we have done one RYD conference and this is our second one...Dr. LoMonaco sponsors us along with some other doctors.... we do this to educate those who are just starting this journey....

this is a bond that can not be broken or taken lightly we have all gone through so many changes and need someone to help us be accounable.... the bond that the three of us have is something so unique.... something that will be there for a life time.... the three of us have gone through so many changes and growing together.....they might be in dallas and me in houston but that bond is there and we talk all the time we might see each other as often as we would like but i know for me if i need something i can call on either of them at any time of the day or night and they will be there for me.... i love both of them dearly and could never change the experiences we have had together..... 

thanks for the info debra.  you are such an inspiration. tks. vick

Vickie....if you ever get the chance to go to the RYD Conference...it is so amazing !!!!     If my son's prom was not this coming weekend I would so be there !!!!  I love to help greet and help Sean out with the clothing exchange.    SO much fun and all the encouragement that you get from the speakers....it is just amazing !!!!    Debra, Ramon and Yvonne are 3 of my all time favorite people in the entire world.   So upbeat and so encourgeing and supportive !!!!    I hate that I am going to miss out on the fun in Galveston...but my son will only have one senior prom and with him being my baby there is no way I wasn't going to be here for him for my own selfish desires !!!    Love ya girl !!!
