Ellen

My life has changed so much since July when I had gastric bypass
surgery. Not only have I lost weight and inches, I have changed my
eating habits and the way I view myself.

Through the supportive friends I have met online and through support
groups, I have gotten through difficult times. All of you understand
where I come from and can relate to my successes and failures.

After having experienced a recent family cruise, I kept thinking how
fun it would be to go on a cruise with people that experienced this
life altering surgery like myself. Even though most of us don't know
each other, we still share that bond.

I have organized a low cost weekend adventure at sea, where we can
share our experiences, form lasting friendships and meet people from
all over the country. Not to mention, have some fun! Where else can
you go away for the weekend with a great bunch of people?

Please download the attached word document for details on the cruise
Feel free to contact Vicki or myself with questions or suggestions.

Sincerely,
Ellen Faulkner
