I guess I forgot to blog about my first wls seminar that dh & I attended last Wednesday! I know I wrote a post about it but in the interest of keeping my thoughts all here in the blog- I'll add what I can remember here too.

It was a seminar for the Davis Clinic in Houston (the guys on the show 'Big Medicine.) It was downtown and from 6:30-8pm. We arrived to a gorgeous hospital & went upstairs to a conference area that is being remodeled. It was dark and creepy. There were just...

...something comes up to likely stop it altogther. Finally, after waiting 3 weeks for the initial wls seminars in my area for the 2 drs I'm considering (& getting my DH on board for me to get LAP-BAND® (self pay) ) we just found out that DH may be out of his job!

After some minor health issues...

I don't get a lot of time on the computer so I usually check my email and go online from my cell phone. That being said, (as I type from my laptop tonight), I need to post the blog I started on TT over here. I like TT, but as someone else already pointed out, there's not many banders over there. Still, great people though. :)
