Stop thinking of GLP-1 medicines (eg semaglutide) as weight loss drugs.

Start thinking of them as health promoting medicines.

They not only help people do the lifestyle they know they should do, but also have effects beyond weight that improve health.

Don’t miss the paired Editorial

Who needs April Fools’ day when there are doctors online saying:

- LDL cholesterol is good for you
- Sunscreen is bad for you
- Carbs are bad for you
- Artificial sweeteners are worse than sugar

And lastly

- Obesity is due to a lack of willpower

Expected. We have a biological disease with heterogeneous responses to treatments

our 5yRCT surgery x GLP1RA+SGLT2i have similar effects over CKD. Surgery confers better WL, glycemic control and ADA trip endpoint and betterQOL. Cohen RV, et al. Diabetes Care. 2021.PMID: 34362818. Cohen RV, et al. EClinicalMedicine. 2022.PMID: 36467457

Metabolic Surgery: A Superior Intervention for Obesity Comorbidities

For ppl with obesity and difficult to manage blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and/or MASLD/MASH, there is no better treatment than metabolic surgery.

When proposing any new medical intervention, including in metabolic surgery, we need robust evidence that the procedure is safe and effective. Thus, SASI- single anastomosis sleeve-ileostomy, a single anastomosis bipartition is not safe

Bariatric surgery has proven its positive effects on health in long term follow up,however it never was hyped by the media. safe and good outcomes do not generate attention or “likes”

📣 Now #INPRESS on SOARD

MBSAQIP data comparing lap vs. robotic #BariatricSurgery showed higher readmission and reoperation rates in robotic-assisted cases

Are we still expecting to overcome the learning curve?
