Email to Meredith at RMAP

Just wanted to share the email I sent to Meredith this morning:

Meredith.

I appreciate the time you took to respond initially to me on February 6, 2009. I also appreciate the offer of resolving the minor issue that existed between myself and Carly. As stated, I have nothing against Carly or RMAP. However, though I accepted your offer and have done my part (not saying anything that could be considered even slightly negative regarding Carly or RMAP), it appears the issue has not been resolved (or let go) from the RMAP side.

I have a big need to give back and share my 250 lbs loss with others who are contemplating or just beginning the journey. My blog, the RMAP facebook group and obesityhelp.com has allowed me to reach out to many former RMAP patients who were negatively affected by my ban from the RMAP board and a few others but my intention at reaching out to you initially (as I stated) was to increase my ability to give back, to share with others everything I have learned and help them be as successful as I have been. Since RMAP has made it obvious they have no need/desire to make use of me and my experiences to help their current and future patients, I have reached out to Dr. Cottam and his weight loss group.

As the other center of excellence here in Utah, I will be able to give back to their large patient group. This was a hard decision for me as my mother has a huge connection to RMAP surgeons (Dr. Smith, Dr. Halverson) as well as with Paula. I will always hold a soft spot for RMAP but life's too short to push for something RMAP obviously doesn't want.

Thanks for your time. And I do wish you and RMAP all the best.

Sean
