Exemplo Medical brought a real treat to the ASMBS exhibit floor this year by allowing conference participants a peek at the new Nintendo Wii Fit game. Already used by scores of weight loss surgical patients, attendees got a first hand look and feel of this virtual personal trainer and all it can do for their patients as well as for use in their own exercise regiment. Surgeons, nurses and staff members stopped by booth 338/340 to test their balance and coordination with games like Hula Hoop, Soccer, and Ski Jump as well as friendly competition among friends and colleagues. Exemplo Medical also offered interested parties the opportunity to enter a drawing for one of three Wii Fit Packages to include a Wii Sports Station, a Wii Fit Game and a Wii Balance Board of their own. As the show came to a close, ObesityHelp's Bo McCoy and OAC's Kristy Kuna stood along side Exemplo Medical President, Francisco Faria to draw three names from a collection of entries.
