Staff and attendees had a great celebration at our recent 2013 ObesityHelp Conference. It is so much fun to be with other pre-op and post op WLS'ers.
Bariatric surgeons regularly hold patient reunions for their patients. If your bariatric surgeon has an upcoming Patient Reunion, please reply to this post with the surgeon's name, date and details so other patients of your surgeon can be aware of the upcoming get-together.
Thanks!!

HUGS.. I give myself shots of B!2 every week. And take 50,000 IU D3 - dry 1-2 times a week. And that with now - high normal blood test result.
Not sure what D you take - but if prescription - then you probably take D2 (green pills) and they are not as potent as Dry D3 (OTC - by bioLabs - really good - any not expensive OTC - 100 caps for $20..(amazon)
I would also suggest they check your copper, vit K and vit A.
I was taking good dosage - but my A was borderline low..so now I take an additional dry A. (skin, vision, etc)
HUGS...

Thanks for the reminder to all. I'm 8 1/2 years out and my labs are fine but I have had to adjust a few at different times, had two rounds of iron infusions (seems to be working OK with oral right now) and I DO get copies of every lab drawn and track them for trends.

Good morning! Where is everyone??? Not much happening in my world today. Work, then home and some TV. I do need to call the car dealership this morning. My car seems to be over heating. And the Air conditioner/heater isn't working right. Thinking the 2 problems are tied together. But need to get it checked out. DH will be gone on business this weekend to NM. Not sure what I will fill my time with. To those that can get out and enjoy the weather, have some fun. It's so nice out today.

Good Hump Day everyone,
Hope your having a great week. Mine has been off and on with lots of stress. Today I am grateful for waking up today, feeling pretty good, for my WLS and all the choices people have today for different procedures, for my family and friends, for God's grace and that he is doing things in my life to make me a better person, grateful for all the things that make life easier to me everyday, grateful for my weight loss even though I am NOT where I'd like to be by the numbers on the scale....thank GOD I am not where I began. Grateful for Obesity Help and all the staff that are "behind the scenes" that are never seen.....so grateful for OH and all the encouragement that is on all the forums here daily. Grateful for the beautiful weather and hopefully the heat is gone for this season. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today. Have a safe and blessed day !!!
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

We're going to give the hump day camel a day off.
Jan staying home again today. She really must be feeling puny. Two days running I did not get my ham and cheese omelet she'll fix when she is off and feeling good.
Another day of work ahead. Yesterday was super good day! Got lots done. Managed to get on the contraption yesterday when I got home too.
Go forth and do what you gotta do! 
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!
