Bariatric Foodie OAC “Your Weight Matters” Convention Sweepstakes!

Thank you for getting connected with the Obesity Action Coalition! I’m proud to be a part of this dynamic organization that acts as a voice on behalf of millions of Americans living with obesity. In the coming weeks and months, you’ll get information from the OAC via email. Take some time to read it and consider what you can do to educate, advocate and support others living with obesity.

Now that you’re connected, you wanna come hang out with me at OAC Convention, in New Orleans, August 10-13, 2017? If so, enter my convention trip sweepstakes by filling out the information below.
