📢 Exciting news! Dive into the latest BJS Lecture from the International Bariatric Club's annual meeting. Teresa LaMasters sheds light on surgeon burnout and its implications for patient safety. 🎥✨ 🔗bjsacademy.com/international-… #SurgeonWellness @IBCClub1 @TeresaLamasters


Intensive lifestyle behavior therapy with these components has been tried in multiple studies. There were thoughts by many of the investigators if the therapies were intense enough,it would work. But none worked for severe obesity. Hormones are more powerful than IBT.@RajMisraDO

Imagine if we could focus a fraction of the resources of drug development and marketing on intensive physical therapy, psychotherapy, dieticians, and education to foster radical lifestyle changes.



It was my honor to be included in The Tennesse State Chapter ASMBS. A great meeting with great people! @DrJennyMWeaver @JaimePonceMD @WayneEnglishMD @ASMBS

It the difference of giving someone additional satiety hormone with medication vs. changing biochemistry so they make more of that hormone themselves with surgery. Both are helpful but surgery is more powerful! #PCP #Endocrinology #obesity #weightloss #BariatricSurgeons #ASMBS

For people with obesity, Ozempic isn’t the most effective weight-loss treatment around—not even close, writes @yeahyeahyasmin. theatlantic.com/health/archive…

Although a well-known complication after RYGB, internal hernia (IH) is still challenging for bariatric surgeons. Here is a 🧵 based on a review that examines the currently available literature regarding the prevention, diagnosis, and management of IH. 1/10

Thank you Joe for your advocacy for the patient’s voice and lived experience. So important in the treatment of people with the disease of obesity.

Thank You @JNadglowskiOAC for 18 years of leadership and dedication at the @ObesityAction - we appreciate all you have done.

Interestingly, the 2nd patient (285 lbs), who will have #BariatricSurgery (gastric bypass) on the same day, did not lose any weight with #Wegovy & #Mounjaro. Response to #obesity treatment is not uniform & we should consider all evidence-based options to help our patients.

A patient lost near 80 lbs with #Mounjaro in 8 months. With current weight of 265 lbs (BMI 45) and still having severe #obesity, patient will undergo #BariatricSurgery (gastric bypass) in the next few days to help her losing more weight.

Be bold and passionate! The leaders in the field of obesity treatment must improve our efforts to inform the public about the causes of #obesity and how different therapies work to create success. The more that is known… -the better we can champion this movement together!
