Fashion show to celebrate successes of Memorial’s bariatric surgery patients
April 28, 2014 By Leave a Comment
Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center will hold a free fashion show with a compelling angle Tuesday evening: All the models have successfully undergone minimally invasive metabolic and bariatric (weight loss) surgery and have lost a lot of weight … in many cases well over 100 pounds.
This will be an opportunity for them to “strut their stuff” before family, friends and the public and they have some wonderful stories to tell about the dramatic improvements they have experienced in their health and quality of life. Fashions will be provided by the show’s sponsor – DKNY in the Niagara Fashion Outlets.
