Conference
I need to get this out. I feel excited and fear.
Today I am asked to speak at a Conference where Doctores/ Surgeons and Nurses are
the attendees. I feel Honored. As I tear up, who would have though this honor would
be happening to me a little over 8 months ago or last year sedontary stuffing my face in
depression.
This sleeve has saved my life. Of coarse I am going to share my experience. I have to give
back freely what has been given to me.
I have no idea what to expect, but I am taking GOD with me today.
I feel scared, intimidated, excited, and Honored.
This is a huge gift for me today.
Mary
PS: I am back on track and down to 155.9. I feel terrific on the inside today.

First off, CONGRATULATIONS on the opportunity to speak to medical professionals! It isn't everybody that is asked of this, so you have obviously been watched and praised behind your back by the medical powers that be.
Expect to have your photos taken, excerpts of you spech recorded, perhaps evven the entire speech will be recorded. It will probably be used for further wls classes, see if you can spin this into a guest column in their mag or online site.
Wear your most pretty outfit, hair long and have your card available to those health professionals (especially the single ones) in attendance and smooze. Just imagine the connections you can make!!
Congrats on your progress...you're back on track and I bet it didn't hurt a bit!

Mary that is so awesome! I thought it was already over, if I had known it was today I would have gone there and crashed the event to hear you speak, and meet you!!!You are my inspiration and have been so helpful in my journey, the info prior and your wealth of knowledge and experience you have shared with me in the last 10 days!
I can't wait to hear how it went, those people are in for a real treat to hear your story!
I hope you come home just on a cloud!!
Love you girl!!! 
3 of us had surgery, I was the only sleeve and the 4th person was a supporter, the wife
of a RNY. This conference started at 8:00 this morning. We went on at about 3 :15ish.
It was amazing and of coarse i cried. I am very sensitive. We were asked questions
and we responded. I felt a little shy about my tears, but knew it was ok to cry because
my tears were of grattitude. I was approached afterwards to be a part of something else,
well all of us were approached and they are going to choose a few more folks.
I have to give freely back what was kindly given to me, of coarse my answer is, "YES!"
I have to support someone else in order for me to stay in recovery, I am taught this
in my other program which fits all recovery. I felt so happy to come home, hop on the
computer and read your responses. Thaaaaaaank you!
