Why: The Annual Bariatrics Celebration is a time for former weight loss patients to reconnect with each other and the staff that helped them through their journey. However, the inspiring Celebration is also an opportunity for perspective patients to make the decision to commit to achieving a healthier lifestyle. The theme for this year’s Celebration is “Lookin’ Fine in 2009.”
