Batwingsman, here is information for you that we are very sad to have to convey after much deliberation:
Due to continued COVID-19 safety precautions and restrictions on large gatherings, we have made the decision to cancel the 2020 ObesityHelp National Conference in Houston, Texas. The health and safety of our community is our number one priority.
All attendees who previously purchased tickets will have their tickets automatically transferred to the National Conference 2021 in Houston, TX at the Omni on October 1st & 2nd. Your 2020 event tickets will be automatically rolled over to 2021, however hotel rooms will need to be rebooked. We apologize for the inconvenience and are saddened that we will not have the opportunity to see everyone this year.
We are in the process of updating our website, ticketing system, and social media with the new details. Thank you all for understanding that everyone's health and safety is our prime reason for rescheduling. We are so disappointed.
Kim Gyurina, Event Manager
Wondering what the present status is on the convention, in light of Covid19 ... Is it still on for October?

I had rny in 2005. Revised to gastric sleeve in 2008. Lately, every time I cough or bend over for any length of time I feel like my intestines are twisting. Every time this happens , the next day my stomach feels badly bruised. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong? Has anyone had similar problems. I am in my 70's....maybe just old age????
Do you know if he still accepts this Medicaid. I am looking for a doctor to do mine. I need this bad.an how was her experience with him?
I'm 17 years out and have always been able to eat whatever I want, just in moderation. I eat my protein first. If it's wrapped in a tortilla, then it is. If it's bothering you, try corn or gluten-free.

Hi everyone,
I am new to all of this. My youngest daughter who is in her 30's (two kids), is going through the steps to have weight loss surgery. It's been her decision completely to have the surgery, but I want to learn how to best support her in this, top to bottom. Is anyone willing to share what your support has been and does anyone out there have maybe new ideas so I can do and say the right things to be the most helpful?
I see there is a conference coming to Houston...are support people allowed to attend?
Thanks!
