I have to tell you this looks like a scam to me ? It might not be but its THE MOST UN IFORAMTIVE site i have ever seen.

I see NO Where does it tell you where the summit is , the times ect.

If its not a scam its VERY VERY poorly done !

On the site I found out that the SUMMIT is going to be in San Antonio, Tx on January 23 and 24 2009, the seminars take place on the 24th, and it's $50.00. There is also an agenda that you can download so you can plan your day for the talks. Looks like most are about 1hr long. This is the 5th annual summit, looks interesting I am planning on going. Even if you take just a few things from it, I think it would we worth 50 bucks and there are suppose to be vendors there as well so....maybe some free samples to take home. Besides the fact it's in San Antonio!! What Fun!!!

Honestly I dont know how you found that out from that site !

its horrible. I hunted and hunted. Besides going all the way through signing up and paying I dont see how that info is found ?

Its not readily available on the site.

Which is fine. You would just think someone who is putting on something would make it very well known at least where and when its at ?

Just my thinking . lOL

I'm sorry you are having trouble getting the info, I guess I just kept clicking until I came across it. Keep trying because I think it will be a good tool for us.

Click on the Texas Weight Loss Surgery Summit link ON THE LEFT. That one takes you to the info page and agenda, not the Bariatric Advantage page to order tix. Looks interesting if you're into that sort of thing. I personally don't have $50 plus hotel costs to spend on this kind of activity......could be informative and motivating though, which is NEVER bad!!!!

I'd like to attend but it's too short notice. I'm in Houston and have young children I'd have to coordinate/schedule around so short planning outings are still a few years away for me.

Ok that link must have been broken before or something ?

I could not get that info before.

Looks similiar to the OH conference I went to except OH focused more on RNY than anything.

If i had the extra $50 I would go . Maybe next time

Is this site ever updated? Has it not changed since 2005 (except for the conference info)...would be nice to have a place to go to for events in the area.
