Just thought I'd say hi.  I'm still waiting for a surgery date, but it should be sometime this month.  Just wanted to check out the AZ board!

Topic: RE: Need a lil help post op 6yrs have a lil regain!
That's the idea of the event.  To teach!  ....  Learning to control our eating in a WLS friendly environment can help us when we're in other social situations.  I understand wanting to stay away from tempting food! 

The snacks people bring to share will be healthy and the dinner out will be optional AND among our peeps who will also be on the healthy path!

This is a GREAT educational opportunity for FREE! 
I hope you change your mind and join us!

Topic: Presenting, Two Nationally Known Speakers!
Michelle Curan akaVitalady
This is a rare opportunity to experience the world-renowned post-op & vitamin-supplement guru. Vitalady doesn’t hold anything back – and she’s walked the walk as a successful WLS patient, too! (Bring any questionable lab #’s for Q & A) We are excited to welcome her to Phoenix on her 2010 Vitatour!    www.vitalady.com 

Katie Jay, MSW

Is a nationally-known speaker, author, coach, and patient advocate – and is a leading authority on the WLS success mindset! She is founder and director of the National Association for Weight Loss Surgery. A WLS patient herself, Katie has gone through all the changes WLS ignites. She has lost to goal, done plastic surgery, regained, and then lost what she regained. Katie shares how to move beyond being a victim of food obsessions, carb cravings, emotional eating, transfer addiction, and fear of success. She is someone who lives it, understanding that the only way to succeed is to get up when you fall, again and again, if necessary. Thousands of people read Katie’s free newsletter each week, and we are thrilled to have her here on a rare visit to Phoenix! www.nawls.com
