Chef Graham Elliot To Entertain And Inspire At ObesityHelp National Conference in August

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. - Aug. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Each year, ObesityHelp.com (OH) brings together hundreds of conference attendees that are navigating their weight loss surgery journey with a common goal of losing weight, improving health and overall wellness. For 2014, the ObesityHelp National Conference will be held on August 15^th and 16^th at the Manhattan Beach Marriott.  Attendees to the events always mention a very special connection while there, knowing that others in the room understand the stigma and challenges of obesity and how it feels to make that big decision to commit to weight loss surgery.

“...the OH events are right up behind my surgery in best decisions I have made in my life. The connections made with other people who “get it”, the inspiring stories, the motivational speakers, the yummy product sampling and giveaways all make it so worthwhile.” - Jackie Stewart WLS patient/OH event participant.

Whether a pre-op, post-op, or a weight loss surgery veteran…you’ll learn about nutrition, fitness, relationships, how to tackle regain, and so much more. There will be music and dancing, free samples, a photo booth and even a fashion show to celebrate personal milestones and create life-long memories. With this very special connection in mind, OH is honored to feature keynote speaker, Graham Elliot, someone that also understands and connects to the weight loss surgery community in that very special way.
