It's October 3rd at St. Luke West at the TriSate Surgical Weight Loss Center it's an anniversary party for all the patients who had surgery there with Dr. Tom.

Hi Charlie,  I believe you are speaking of the big event on April 3rd.  Brenda is the technical director of that event and can probably give us more information.  The event is something like the one we had a year or so ago..  Difference is all patients are invited and the way she explained it to me.  It is not a hospital or doctor event but a patient event.  There will be classes, vendors.  a fashion show and prize give aways.  That is all that I am familiar with so far.  Hopefully- Brenda can give us more information.  I just emailed her about this post.

Hey Charlie,   there is an event being held at the Marriott hotel next to the airport in N. Kentucky on April 4th...The classes and work shops will be awesome.  Very strong band as well as bypass information.  What we hope to accomplish is covering all basis where we see pt's (including me)struggle.  Long term success., emotional eating.  addictions..and not just those things but here is a question I always had.  If I was obese as I was...diabetic, high B/P..high cholesterol...then I lose weight..what damage have I done and what can I do to reverse it.  I want to get strong emotionally and physically. 
I have also ask a dentist who specializes in cosmetic dentistry to join us..A plastic surgeon who wants to sponsor part of the event,, I am working on a chiropractor-podiatrist...motivational speakers, etc.. and many more....  lots of interesting and educational vendors..(what can we learn from these professionals?? come find out!!!).prize give aways and of course you know me..I like surprises..so come join us for lots of..----- fun, fun, fun.....
We will begin sign ups very soon....we are putting it all in place right now.

I hope you will join us...keep watching for more information

Wow Brenda so this is going to be April 4, 2009???? I know exactly where the Motel is as my hubby and I stayed there in August for our Anniversary.  Wow keep us posted I would like to come to something like that

Vicki, as soon as I can get it settled which probably won't be for a couple of months.  I would love to send out flyers to different support groups around the state. I would be happy to send you something with info.   We will offer a discounted rate for early sign ups and hopefully this will be extremely affordable.  As we should have several sponsors.

if you have been to the Marriott hotel you know it's beautiful and very accessable.  I will look forward to meeting you there!!

Thanks Brenda I would appreciate it.   Yes Marriott is beautiful we were very pleased with the Hotel and services

Brenda:
Sorry I had the wrong info.  After reading Harleyman 65's question I went to the Ohio Board and all I saw was a coment about the TSSWLC Anniversary party and thought that was the event. I am marking April 4th on my calendar.
AMy K.

not a problem Amy...hope to see you there

BRENDA, thanks for letting us know the date, Saturday, April 4.  I just checked the calendar.  That's 7 months or so away, but it sounds like a great event and one to be planning for.  I remember reading something you wrote about this earlier and have been wondering when the date would be pinned down.  Again, thanks for info and the preparation it takes to put sonething like this together.
