THE LOSER'S BALL 2023
Inspiration Summit & Bari PROM
Introducing The Loser’s Ball, an annual Inspiration Summit & Bari PROM, designed to celebrate and embrace those who have chosen or are considering Weight Loss Surgery as a way to end their fight against obesity. Founded by Cierra Johnson, aka @thechicandsavvybelle, a post opt weight loss surgery patient who has dedicated her second chance at living a healthy lifestyle to paying it forward in the weight loss community. Cierra's goal is to develop a safe and fun environment for pre and post bariatric patients to be educated, inspired, and empowered without feeling judged or overwhelmed by their decision. The event will encourage and support men and women who are considering, awaiting, and/or post weight loss surgery. Promoting community, support, and lifelong tools for success from the perspective of past patients. In addition, we will honor and celebrate individuals who are selflessly making an impact in the community. And of course, we have to present our PROM Court and crown our FIRST BARI PROM KING AND QUEEN of the #wlscommunity.
Join us for a BARIATRIC celebration like no other! Two days of intentional, purposeful, and invigorating experiences curated to empower, embrace, and educate those who are considering, pre-op, or post-op weight loss surgery. This event is a celebration of LIFE AFTER BARIATRICS so be ready to have the time of your life!
