BariatricPal Meet and Greet Opportunity in San Diego @ WLSFA Event with Carnie Wilson



Recommended Posts

Wish I could go to tell my story and meet you both....I only had 9 months left to live in March this year when I had my op....with my 25kg loss so far with the Omega loop gastric bypass I would be an inspiration to this new procedure. It saved my life....Carnie Wilson was always an inspiration to me and the 80's and 90's were my fondest era for music...then watching her procedure and how open she was about it...I too wish I could get the message out....life changing...Anyway hope you all have fun.....One day when I have the money I will be there! Best regards to all leanne Perth, Western Australia.

So I was reading the small print on the registration page and if you don't stay at the Manchester it is another 100.00 fee for the event making it 200.00 to attend??? What if we have family to stay with as I was going to visit and attend the conference. Just doesn't make sense to charge more if people live in San Diego or have family there. Thanks for clarifying this.

Here is what I am reading:

Early Bird Ticket 6/1/2014 - 12/31/2014 Discounted tickets for event attendees staying in the Manchester Grand Hyatt April 10,11 2015 in the Discounted WLSFA Room Block. Proof of room reservation must be presented at the event registration desk to receive access to the event. If not staying at the Manchester Grand Hyatt an additional $100 fee per ticket will be charged for access to the event.

Yes it would be a lot of fun! I would of course go through BP.com - I will know before the Earlybird specials expire.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
