It was fun seeing many of you at the conference.  I was told beforehand that 10 of us had registered - WOO HOO - so we should be receiving about 50 samples of something from ObesityHelp that I will bring to meetings once received. 

I hope you got out of the conference as much as I did.  I was only underwhelmed by one speaker (he rambled and was too preachy for me, but maybe that's because he was the first speaker after lunch...dunno).  I was glad to see such a large collection of vendors too - I hope you were able to support them - and the food was great and bariatric style.

I think the main thing I walk away from is what Dr. Feng said in his presentation (not an exact quote), "do you need a revision surgery or do you need to revise your eating plan?"  Hmmmm.  He stated that he has had several people come to his office claiming they needed a revision surgery because their "tool" wasn't working anymore.  He ran tests, everything seemed great and in working order, he asked what they ate (not the best options of course that they admitted to), and after he got them to revise their meal plan and eating habits, voila, the "tool" was working again and the pounds started coming off.
