The event was fun and informative.  I think everyone had a good time - I know I did.   For me the best part is always meeting new folks and catching up for those I have met before.

Donna from the DC Divas, all female National Champion football team gave a motivating talk about setting goals and not letting negative self talk defeat those goals.  Several women on the team have had WLS which was a surprise to me.  

Drs Goldberg and Nickerson talked about the emotional side of life.

Jeremy Gentle talked about fitness

Lily's Closet did a presentation of Fall Fashions.

Drs Bitar and Anez spoke about their areas of expertise and answered lots of questions for pre and post ops.

Why thank you Lauren!!  :-)

I had a blast and it was so good to see everyone and also to make some more friends. Friday evening was fun and it was a fun walk but afterwards in the "circle" I had the best time - sharing and laughing!

Thanks for those that came out and supported the event and for those who did not come, you missed a fun and informative day!! Maybe we will see you again in the future!

Sorry I have not been on line much lately but I also had an event with Dr Krieger in West VA last week too so had a lot of slides etc to get ready.....

But I am back!!! And missed you all!

It was so nice to meet you guys. I hope we can see each other in the future. I had a good time, but was a little tired from all the travelling beforehand.

I don't know how you all get through that traffic everyday. It took us 8 hours to get home from the Redskins game. As much fun as I had, it really made me appreciate the small town I am from.

Everyone was so nice to me. And to Tammy, thanks for picking me up for dinner.

Jackie you did a great job.

Hope to see you all soon, Penny

Penny,

It was so nice to meet you last week!  I had such a good time.  I wish we had longer!  Hope you had a great time at the game...sorry they lost and that it took you so long to get home.  That is always a bummer!
