Your Voices: Sharing the OH Conference Experience

I’ve been attending this conference for the past three years. The conference is geared for bariatric weight loss; however, so many are struggling with the extra weight, it’s for everybody. The conference is full of information, you get motivated, there are tons of vendors, and the best part is you meet new friends. - Gwen K.

I’ve been going since 2017 and will never miss one. There is so much support and love at these conferences to help us with our struggles. - Lisa I.

Thank you, ObesityHelp for this year’s ObesityHelp/Bariatric Connect National Conference. This was my 3rd year attending, and I plan on continuing to attend annually if I can. I call this one of my “Self Care” weekends for accountability and as a reminder that this is a lifelong journey. I look forward to listening in on the valuable sessions, the generous swag bag of samples, talking to vendors on their latest products, meeting new people, and learning the new information on all things bariatric and medical weight loss. - Eds GC

My first time experiencing the amazing ObesityHelp National Conference… It has been such an encouraging, motivating, and inspiring event! Not to mention I have met some awesome people as well! I had the best time! I will definitely be back with bells on. Motivation and Support equals Success! - Tarsha S.
