Hi Jeri,

You will come back with a natural high that will last you until the next one.  Monique's word**** home quite a bit. 

Enjoy yourself and know that you are with FAMILY!!!!


Blessings,

Nina

Don't say anything unkind, untrue, or unnecessary.

Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith ...
it is the price of love.

Hi Jeri,
I dont know what happened but I had typed out a long ol' response to u days ago and I don't know why it didnt post. :(  Anyhoo, Im so glad I went up to u "my twin"  I had had no clue u had responded to my post. LOL.  It was great to meet you. 

This post is/was my exact feelings after having experienced the first HIGH of going to an OH Conference.  i wanted to convey the emotion that I felt attending.  I wanted others "like me" know now that they didn't have to be scared.  I truly was scared and nervous.  I had NEVER done anything so drastic such as go out of town 5 hours away to meet people that I had only spoken to on the Internet.  But I am so glad I did. I've been coming to these everytime they are in Texas PLUS RYD OBESITY's conferences since 2006.  I've even been a "guest speaker" (eeck!) lol   I was truly blessed that RYD & OH and various persons saved my life.

Anyhoo, its too bad we didn't have time to chat longer. Hit me up with a PM if u ever wanna vent or just chat. 

Take care.
Hugs,
Monica

Monica,
     It sucks your long 'ol response didn't get posted but I still went.  I put my big girl panties on and tried the best I could to show up to the conference.  I was in the parking lot giving myself a pep talk!  I'm glad you went up to me "me twin" and it was great to meet you as well.  I'm goig to be honest... I got a little teary eyed when I met you and Paige because all I could think about were my feelings and doubt and the negativity.  (Heck I'm getting a little misty writing this!)  You were so nice to me and I hope we can chat some more.  I'll be going to el valle Dec 19-28 so maybe we can hit the outlet mall or workout or something.  Thank you again for talking to me!

Aww Jeri...

These conferences can get emotional.  When Yvonne was speaking and she mentioned about me, I was so elated at where I was/am right now.  And then I looked at my friend and she is crying and I look over to Debra F. and SHE is crying. That was it! I started crying too. I hadn't cried in a LOONG time. LoL

So anyhoo, sooo glad u went. Im going to PM u my number. U BETTER call me when ur down here.  Im going to be off the whole Christmas school break. So please call.  Take care

Hugs,
Monica

Monica,
     It was good to see you @ the conference.  I hope we do get to talk more.  I sent you a friend request and I will PM you my number as well.  Actually I just bought my airplane ticket to go to the valley on Thursday!  I'll be down there for a week and a half and I'm going to need the support from all the evil yet yummy places to eat down there.  Take care and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Monique,

Had my sleeve 2 weeks ago today and my husband had his just 2 weeks before. We're both doing wonderful and are wondering about the OH Conference. Where is it? Is it too late to register, etc. As relative new comers to the Forum any info would be appreciated. Should it be too late or if we are unable to make it, are these conferences always held here in Texas?

Thanks much for any info,

Lisa

Oh, I just realized it's like...tomorrow!! Dang!  Well, hopefully this is an annual thing in Texas and I can look forward to next year!  Ya'll have fun!

Hi LIsa -

I just got home and was checking messages and I see that Monica hasn't had time or a chance to reply...........so here I am..........

The OH Conference is being held in Houston............If you go to the events page - all of the information is there.........NO ITS NEVER TOO LATE. I don't believe.........now getting a hotel room may be..........its always more fun to stay at the actual hotel where the conference is if possible, but there are 2 other options (see above messages/threads from Kim G. regarding these negotiated rates.) If you have any questions, please feel free to PM Kim - I'm sure she'll get to you asap..............

OH usually has 2 conference in TX or at least they did in 2010. The last one was in May here in Dallas - this one was in Houston. They have these conferences in various states at various times - so jus****ch the events page..

I'm heading to Houston in the AM with 2 other ladies and rooming with 3 other ladies - therefore splitting the cost of the room / 4.........? So very manageable to do these trips.....just get roomies and have a ball...........cheap too...........share gas - car pool, etc, etc..................

I hope that you get to come....look for me. I"ll be there tomorow - not sure what I'll have on tomorrow for traveling..........meet and greet on Friday nights - conference all day - PINk and Blank turtle neck (cuz I'm always freezing in these conference rooms :)) ) and HOme on Sunday...

((((((((Huggs)))))))))) Congrats on your hubby's and your decision to have WLS !!! WTG!!!

P.S. I'M THE GIRL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PIC....MY BFF FROM GRADE SCHOOL ON THE RIGHT IN NORTH DAKOTA !!
  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.
