Planning continues for our annual patient reunion scheduled for Saturday, September 28. It will be held at the Hillcrest Country Club in Lincoln from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
We have a delightful day planned full of fun, education and networking. Give yourself a gift; one day to focus on YOU! Spouses are welcome to attend as well as anyone that has had bariatric surgery or is in the process of preparing for surgery.
Our special guest is Marty Wolff who was a past participant on "The Biggest Loser." In addition, we will have several past patients speaking about a variety of topics. Dr. Hung and Dr. Taddeucci will also be presenting.
We will have lots of breaks so you can browse the vendor tables and pick up tips and tools. A bariatric friendly breakfast and lunch will be served.
Invitations will be coming to your mailbox in mid- August however mark your calendar now, and plan to attend. There are peole coming from all parts of the state so if you want to carpool, let me know. I may be able to put you in touch with someone in your area.
During the past reunions we have had many wonderful raffle items donated by participants for door prizes. If you can provide a gift for raffle, please contact Marilyn Wadum at marilynwadum@stez.org or 402-219-7600.
In addition, we are going to have a "Book for a Buck" table. We encourage you to bring a few gently used books that you have found helpful in your weight-loss surgery journey that someone else may enjoy reading.

New Walking Group
at Saint Elizabeth
Sharon J., an active member of support group is starting a walking group. This summer, immediately following support group, we will put on our walking shoes and stride the campus of Saint Elizabeth.
Exercise is much more fun when we can do it together. Sharon's desire is to motivate others as well as incorporate more movement and exercise into our daily routines.
Thank you Sharon, for your commitment to living a healthy lifestyle and, most of all, for helping others to achieve the same. You are an inspiration to all of us!
Don't forget to bring your walking shoes! We will have a drawing for a door prize for those that participate.
