The bash was fantastic. Great speakers,great food, very nice rooms, organized. Excellent week-end.It was very informative.Inspriational.There was about 60 people friday night and the whole group lost approx. 3500 lbs. There was a person from Austrlia, Yellowknife and Winnipeg.Everyone was very friendly. I would recommend this bash .Well worth the money. I didn;t take pictures hopefully someone did.

Susieq321 - Could you pls give me the names of the Plastic surgeons that were present. Did they sound good? Did they show you any pics? Did they specialize in plastics for weight loss patients? I would like to have my cousin come from Italy for the surgury.

We had three plastic surgeons speak Dr Kraden, Dr Kreidstein and Dr Dupere. They all have experience with weight loss patients and they were all nice. I really personally liked Dr Kradjen. My PS is Dr Sliwin who I wouldn't switch from for love nor money because I really like him. I have heard great things about a lot of PS's. Go with who you really like personally. You will want to have more than one procedure done.

I also like Dr. Kradjen. I was so sure that I Was going to have PS when I get to goal, but after that session, I realized that I am going to have to wait and see how comfortable I am. It is very much genetic and your own personal vision if you need it or not.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.

      I'm officially no longer "obese" and now classified as "overweight!" Years ago when I was 108 lbs (my old adult holding weight until the last 10 years) would I have ever thought there would come a day that I'd celebrate being "overweight!" 
      I hit my one year surgery anniversary next Wednesday (August 21st, 2023) and just so happen to have my final bariatric clinic check up on the same day. I'm looking forward to seeing my surgeon and being officially released into the wild! 😋
      I'm curious as to what my labs will say, especially since they told me to not take my vitamins a few days before the labs. To be honest, I find this confusing since the whole point of taking vitamins is to keep your stats within normal ranges - to assure they're working as intended, yet since I quit taking them it will show I need to take them..so I'll hear "make sure to take your vitamins!" A vicious circle. Who knows why?!
      Anyway, I have 40lbs to go to meet my goal and I'm really hoping I can do it in the next 6 months (for a total of 18 months post surgery). At my starting weight the charts show only 20% reach their goal within 18 months with a starting weight of 259 the day of surgery. I'd like to add that to achieved goals. Fingers crossed!
      I'm amazed and thankful for everyone here on these forums who've supported me, answered my questions and understood the plight! Thank you all, you know who you are.
