She frequently works with Sally from Dr. Anez's office doing support group stuff and newsletter articles. I belive they did a session together at the was at the OH Lexington Conference. You maybe able to get more current contact information through Sally (http://www.stapleclub.com/staff.htm).
Hope that helps.

Yep Katie spoke frequently at our support group meetings & for awhile was doing special groups with the grads in our support group. Never really spoke with her outside of that but I am sure she will get back to you soon. As Christina said maybe Sally (who is also a great resource) can get you in contact.
Natalie - I tried to PM you but can't find your profile any more. There's a woman on the June 2007 Board, Crystal Stratton, who just posted today (9/17) that she has been diagnosed with Addison's disease - adrenal glands do not produce cortisol. I thought you might be able to offer her some insights into dealing with WLS and lack of cortisol. I know it must be very scary to her as she is still so new to WLS.
