What professionals are saying about NAWLS:


"NAWLS offers unique information and services in the WLS field. I endorse Katie Jay as one of the most accomplished professionals I have known.

"The National Association for Weight Loss Surgery will help WLS patients achieve long-term success. There is no other national organization like it. Not only does it draw expertise from surgeons, nutritionists, nurses, psychologists, social workers, life coaches, and personal trainers; NAWLS offers critical information, support, and resources to WLS patients. I encourage others to support this incredibly valuable organization." -- Osvaldo Anez, MD, FACS
