Hey everyone if summer would ever really come.......
I just wanted to make you all aware of some of the fun things we are trying to get going here at the clinic!
* Sandi and I would love to collect your yummy recipes and put them together so your fellow Uers can try some new things. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send them our way!!
* I want you to show yourselves off a bit- on our bulletin board across from the scale! Let's make it a brag board where you can boast about what you are up to-- I know some of you are running in community events, reaching the 100#+ loss club, being able to bike again or things like that! Bring in a picture and I'll make you a pin up!! :) :) This could be a lot of fun!
Let me know if you have any other great ideas! Lesley

A Tip to think about when flying
A patient recently went on a trip and wanted us to relay on some information to her fellow lap-banders! When on the plane she had some discomfort while in the air from what she believed was related to the change of pressure and altitude through out the flight. She took some Gas-X and it seemed to make a world of difference! So if any of you are lucky enough to get out of this crummy weather and go somewhere fun....... toss in a bottle! :)
