Straight From the Runway: Hear From the Models!

I was afraid at first, but I’m so glad I did it. I felt like a rock star, and it was so much fun! - Carrie B., 2024 Fashion Show Model

After 12 years and many ObesityHelp conferences, doing the fashion show for the first time this year was absolutely amazing. Feeling like a million bucks, being able to be me, and sharing with others my success felt so good! - Sean N., 2024 Fashion Show Model

A night to never forget! It was a great experience, and I was so excited to be a model on the runaway for the first time. After 21 years since my GBP and being at a healthy weight, I want to show other patients that it was a great decision in my life! - Lynette F., 2024 Fashion Show Model

For me, walking the runway meant a lot more than weight loss; it’s about gaining a new perspective on life; it was my new beginning of being healthy and active. My decision to have weight loss surgery was, for me, an act of self-love; I just need to remind myself every day that it is not a stepping stone, not a finish line! Doing the fashion show and celebrating my achievements with the community reminds me that the true measure of weight loss surgery success is not how many pounds I’ve lost but the better quality of life I’ve been gaining every day! - Samira B., 2024 Fashion Show Model
