The Making a Difference conference will bring together hundreds of weight loss surgery patients, bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, cosmetic and plastic surgeons, exercise and fitness coaches, bariatric product and service vendors, and WLS social media influencers, to celebrate the WLS experience and lifestyle.

The WLSFA will announce their 2023 Grant recipient at the conference and many previous grant recipients will also attend.

Activities during the Making a Difference conference will include multiple educational breakout sessions, a fun walk/run 5k, a Bike with Bill bicycle ride, an Evening of Elegance, a fashion show, the Saturday night Gala Event, the Starfish Awards, the Bariatric Athlete of The Year Award, and much more.

“The fun run/walk 5K has been a favorite conference activity for years,” said WLSFA Vice President, Jacob Bustos. “It is really wonderful to see so many people transforming their lives such that they can now do a 5K.” Bustos adds, “Many of our members have never participated in an activity like a 5k. There is nothing as great as seeing the smiles on the faces of people who have overcome so much and come so far when they complete their 5k and get their medal and tee shirt.”
