Hi all,

Hope you won't mind my dropping in, I've been posting some articles in the "magazine" section of the site.

Alex, one of the people who runs Lapbandtalk.com suggested I post about the one day event we are hosting in August in Bellingham, WA for women who've had weight loss surgery of any kind at least nine months ago. The full scoop can be found here:
Your Next Step. Make sure you also click on the link and check out the spa and inn where we are holding the event. It's going to be great!

In short, the retreat is called Your Next Step After Weight Loss Surgery: Navigating Your Course--A day of focus on YOU to help you map your course towards your best post-WLS life

If you are a woman wls patient, nine months or more post surgery, we hope you will consider joining us for a day of self-care, celebration, reevaluation and realigning your course, goal setting,
and (of course) fun. This one-of-a kind retreat will be held at the beautiful Chrysalis Inn and Spa in Bellingham Washington on August 23, 2008.

During the event, we hope to inspire, motivate and help you design your next step in your weight loss surgery journey--in the company of other women wls patients. It's a day of life coaching, inspiration, gentle yoga, mind body work, relaxation, powerful goal setting, socializing and support. We have some great experiences and surprises planned. It's going to be a fantastic time. Our goal is that everyone leaves the retreat rejuvenated, with a clear idea and a plan for their individual next step toward the life they want to be living.

Please check out the link for more information about the event and your facilitators. We'd love to have you join us!
Your Next Step.

Hi everyone,

We're guessing that you, like the rest of us, are being drastically affected by the rising price of gas. Everyone we know is talking about the changes they are making in their travel and their spending.

We don't want the economy or the price of gas to be the reason you have to miss our powerful "Your Next Step After Weight Loss Surgery" Women's Retreat on August 23, 2008.

Your post states that this is "...for women who've had weight loss surgery of any kind at least nine months ago."

Does that mean that this is not for someone 4 months out of surgery?

Please i would like to know....I think I would like to go
Thanks,

Hi Ms. Mel,

I sent you a private message. Hope to talk with you!
