April Convention at Mall of America

Anyone else want to go???? I made reservations today for our hotel room at the Embassy Suites where the event is located. Here is the link: http://www.obesityhelpevents.com/2005-minnesota.html Anyone else in the area want to go??? We are 4.5 hr drive from there. We have to take our son back to La Crosse, WI that weekend so we are going to drop him off. ANd it is 1/2 way between our house and Minnesota. So it works out good. Let me know if you can make it.

Gala - I've never been to a convention before. Please post here when you get back and tell us all about it. I'm interested in what they do at a convention. Does everyone just stand around and talk about how much weight they've lost? I can't fathom what people would do at an obesityhelp convention. I'm glad that you get to go. I hope you have a wonderful time at whatever it is they do. Melody

There are classes you can/do go to about different topics. I know some of them have "fashion shows" With people wearing a "pre-op" outfit down the run way and then shedding those clothes into their "post op" fit - or show pics o the person on a large screen pre-op and then have that person come out. Kind of an interactive fashion show. I'm interested in that. LOL>...me I love to see the difference in people. I would love to go on the cruise that OH is doing but can't begin to even afford it. If I idn't have 3 kids to take I could. Anyway, I'm sure I'll tell you all about what I learned and all that jazz. Gala
